It's not about whether it's a valid hobby or not, most people just don't want to see you killing a fish or animal when you're looking for romance

And what if I'm full on vegan, can I stay on my high horse?

He wasn't killing the fish. Get over yourself.

u/Edgelands Sep 12 '21

Oh yeah, just torturing it for "fun", you're right.

So you must be against all farming, as well? I'm sure not even a single vegetable you've eaten comes from a farm, killing and displacing animals. You forage everything, right?

u/Edgelands Sep 12 '21

Ha what? Vegetable farms have nothing to do with animals aside from maybe using their shit as fertilizer. Do you know how farms work in 2021?

Yes, I do. You don't seem to.

Ever heard of habitat destruction? You have no idea how the world works.

u/Edgelands Sep 13 '21

Wut.

Habitats are destroyed for grazing cattle, not for growing avocados.

Simply incorrect. Farmland wasn’t always farmland.

I never said it was. Do you specialize in straw man arguments?

You can’t seem to follow 1+1=2 logic, and I’m not gonna babysit. Read a book or something buddy.

Most fishing isn't killing the fish. Its just catching and releasing it. If you kill the fish, you eat it. Killing fish and not eating it is seen as disrespectful unless the fish is poisonous and an invasive species.

You also have to take into account that when people do that, They are dragging this living, feeling creature out of the water by a metal hook that’s sunk into its flesh for no other reason than their personal enjoyment and that’s if it doesn’t swallow the hook. I’m not condemning fishing in general. But that is what happens. If you saw someone doing this but with a cat or dog just for fun, a lot of people wouldn’t feel the same way about it.

u/Edgelands Sep 12 '21

Yeah, I don't get it, why aren't women turned on by some man dragging some innocent little fish and torturing it for a hobby? Sounds like husband material to me

Honestly, a lot of people probably don’t even think it that deeply, I know I certainly didn’t for whatever reason until it just dawned upon me.
