• I think I made it plenty clear that I wasn't aware of the cockerell's demise and apologised immediately.

    Yes, I spend a small amount of time on the fishing thread, for which I am utterly unapologetic. I would cheerfully defend fishing as a pastime (it isn't a sport) face to face with anyone not equipped with blinkers.

  • Catch & release?

    Imagine if people caught wild birds, stabbed them in the face, and let them go, and described it as a pastime. Bonkers. Somehow it's easier to pretend a fish is non-sentient / ok to torture because they don't inhabit the same physical space as us.
