This has got to be the funniest thing I have read. Its just the way you put it that makes it so funny XD

I also believe PETA was refering to people who fish for sport and not those who do it for a living in this case.

Puh-LEASE.
What a bunch of bologna. BOWL. LOG. NA.
When does PETA go after bears and lions n' such for eating animals alive?

Something's fishy here

next thing it will be "cruelty" harvesting live crops

Haha! I do not conform to your silly assumptions.

However I do not usually drag them behind cars, dogs make better shark bait!

However you should learn from this kiddies!

Well, a fisherman (or his son) would hardly be the best person to empathise with a fish. Let me tell you, if I ever metamorphose into a fish one day, I will not intend to be eaten and I won't like being eaten. (Hypothetical situation :D)

Why shouldn't we be nice to fish? It's the least we can do for them before we eat them.

Soon, people will have to become vegetarians, because the guilt of slaughtering animals to stuff our ugly faces will become unbearable. Then, we'll have to stop eating completely because of cruelty inflicted on plants when we guzzle them. Then the human race will die out, unless we resort to cannibalism. :grinpink: I assure you, this will happen. :(

Yeah, as soon as we start to feel sorry for the inoccent people that get bombs dropped on them. Or the people in africa without basic health care of food. Or single mothers living below the poverty line. Why don't PETA start feeling sorry for them. They piss me off.

Fish = food. Humans eat food in order to survive.
I don't see the big deal. It's not like the deer in the woods find pleasure through getting shot either. Not all shots kill instantly.
I don't care as long as the hunters don't take pleasure from killing their prey. I'm against hunting as a recreational activity.

umm... ha ha?

If PETA ran the world we wouldn't be allowed to do anything on grass, because we may cause it pain and trauma.

Anyway, I go fishing. I don't know whether or not it hurts the fish when they have a hook through their mouth. But truthfully it doesn't bother me. I'm sure if I didn't let the thing die, some other bigger fish will be sure to eat it.

I think the article's a little biased, as all those against that law are idiots. Like the "fish can't say 'ouch' person." However, it is currently debateable whether fish can feel pain or not. Currently, it's really only known that fish lack the portion of the brain which usually controls physical sensations (such as pain).

I think I'll eat one of those activists, one day, just for kicks.

This is the most amazing thing I've ever heard PETA do. I might donate money to them just for being so creative.

I have no comment...

Three words. What. The. Hell.
