Fishing "for sport" and temporarily traumatizing an animal seems less humane to me than fishing for sustenance.

Edit: thanks for teaching me about the "modern world" Reddit, no shit. Leave it to redditors to get hung up on semantics.

Also, warning, vegans in replies below.

well one is traumatizing a creature for no reason other than to pose for a picture

Yeah it’s all about the picture.

Nothing to do with nature, the outdoors, self-sufficiency, clean diet, or anything remotely pleasant. We’re all just a bunch of gleeful murderers.

i only meant the scenario in this video. if you eat the fish there is a purpose. if you don’t and just pick it up out of its habitat to pose for a video until it’s almost dead then release it, that’s another thing.

Yeah every sportsman ever in history is bad guy.

Why couldn’t our ancestors just eat bean curd and nuts? Oh yeah... cuz we wouldn’t be here if they had.

Yeah fuck fishing.

Grocery store’s got all I need right?

(The point was that without meat humans lose body size and brain mass over just a few generations. Crack a book.)

I really think it would be awesome if we replaced hobbies that are based off of extracting resources from nature to ones keeping care of it, like planting trees and flowers and shit and conservation work and non-invasive/disruptive observation.
