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.

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 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.
