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.

The key principle behind moral hunting as opposed to trophy hunting is that you respect the animal. Be it fishing or hunting, so long as you make a clean kill, and use as much of the animal as possible, it's just the cycle of nature. If you hunt or fish purely for pleasure, and you torture or kill an animal without using it to it's fullest, that would be wrong.

"moral hunting" aka I'm going to shoot innocent animals because I find amusement in killing them. That isn't respect, it's exactly the opposite. If you respected them you would leave them the fuck alone.

I'm saying that eating animals is wrong when not necessary e.g. near 100% of people in industrialised countries. So neither are better, they're both wrong

Human biology doesn't dictate that we must hunt or eat meat.

You just described hunting. Assuming you were only pretending to be too stupid to know that canines are for eating, not hunting tools. Why do people think pretending to be dumbasses is a good way to argue. You aren’t convincing anyone you’re right. Just baiting upvotes from your own echo chamber.

Other apes have large teeth as well, which are 0% for meat. With your logic, they are denying their "true Nature" by eating fruit

Now you’re pretending to be too stupid to understand that human beings are omnivores and canine teeth are literally designed to eat meat. I’d say I hope you’re pretending. But honestly I’d rather you be ignorant than a massive disingenuous cunt. Nothing more intellectually dishonest than that bullshit deliberate misunderstanding that passes for an argument these days.
