Could you educate us as to where the barbed hook goes?
replyIn the fishes mouth. That’s how you catch them.
replyIs your claim that anglers decimate fishing population?
nope, i don’t think that claim holds water.
replymy claim would be something like how the recommendation of fishing in response to news of conservation efforts is as absurd as recommending spankings in response to news of more babies being born: stupid, harmful, and self-serving.
Barbed hooks are not allowed most of the time anymore.
replyAnd which would you prefer through your lip? Barbed, barbless, or nothing the fuck at all because people let you live your life undisturbed?

Bears are people when you’re on grindr, but that bear there isn’t a person, friend.

replyFish are not people and you’re projecting on to them. Do we need to start with whether you eat meat or own pets?
replyAnimals other than humans feel pain and do tend to avoid it.
replyAnd nope, no eating meat for me (and like half a billion other people). It’s both easier and more empowering than one might think!
Great, then this really isn’t a debate about fishing. We completely disagree about the roles of animals in our life.
