    I’m by no means a vegan, but it has always weirded me out how people see no problem of dragging an animal out of the water by using a hook in the animal’s mouth. Even weirder is it when people then throw the fish back into the sea to be “ethical”. It’s just plain recreational torture at that point.

      Agreed. I have no issue with fishing for food, so long as you put the creature out of it’s misery quickly (unlike a lot of commercial fishing)… but injuring then throwing it back “for sport” seems mean.
