When someone invents a movement without whackjob extremists, I'm gonna join it and be a whackjob extremist.

Yep. Typical leftists. Forced compliance.

I admit, I don't like seeing caught fish left to slowly suffocate outside the water.

i can't even fish anymore. used to enjoy it as a kid. i still eat meat, so i admit that i'm a hypocrite. barring a serious food shortage, though, i doubt that i'll ever fish again.

Fish do not feel pain the way humans do, according to a team of neurobiologists, behavioral ecologists and fishery scientists. The researchers conclude that fish do not have the neuro-physiological capacity for a conscious awareness of pain.

When I fish I usually gut them right away to avoid that. I wish more people would do so, it boils my blood watching people laugh at a flopping fish then throw it back dead.

This is horse crap: "Fish do not feel pain the way humans do, according to a team of neurobiologists, behavioral ecologists and fishery scientists. The researchers conclude that fish do not have the neuro-physiological capacity for a conscious awareness of pain." Pain is pain. Almost forty years ago a man in Hyrum Utah was horse whipped by his neighbors for continually abusing his livestock. A boy I knew told other boys that animals don't really feel pain (he had tied a firecracker to a cat's tail), so they said "We will let you feel its pain then" and beat him badly.

I don't feel badly all about humans suffering for making animals suffer. Have not hunted large animals since I left the Army.

Hi, Guys! Is there room for me in this liberal hatefest? Hey, before the bleeding heart liberals threw the catch in the water did they form a drum circle? Before messing with someone's catch or kill I always like to have a drum circle and meditate over the animal's karma.

Did the whacky leftists confiscate the sportsman's guns? I certainly hope so. People that own guns are evil!

Darn I love taking away peoples' freedom!

No, those were all hard-right conservatives. Total false flag operation. Surprised that it fooled you, though.

Really? Just have a club to brain them with when you land one. Quick and no mess.

And a happy Derpity-Do-Dah-Day to you.

PS: you might want to rethink using this as a spastic "[Me Hate Librul]" post when meat-eaters and fishers a like tell you that, well, just letting the animal needlessly suffocate is pretty ****ing cold, when you could just chop its head off on the spot.

But maybe that's just "emotional" eh? And we all know emotions are for those ***** libs.

Is it just left wing forced compliance that gets you or do right wing freedom haters get your goat also

it's the tearing them out of the water part on a sharp hook with a skewered, drowning worm part. necessary for survival sometimes, but just not fun anymore.

edit to add : i'm not advocating banning fishing or anything like that. i just don't personally find it fun.

Ah, I understand. The only meat that I eat any more is meat that I personally hunt for (so I don't eat all that much meat any more) and although I've hunted since I was about 15 or so, I've never once found it 'fun'. It was always just a means to an end.

And, let's be frank here, fishing is about as boring a damned activity that I can think of, other than being in the outdoors.

Except when it's fishing for Humboldt squid, because they look evil ;-)

Avoid the "curious squid" too. I've heard they taste awful.

Only the ones from the Rim Ocean.

If these animal rights guys want to do something productive, they should go down to Africa and do something about the Rhinos being hunted to extinction for their horns, which supposedly remedies pecker problems.

Animal rights extremist =/= liberal. Some may be, but it's a false equivalency. I know lots of liberals who hunt and fish and will eat the hell out of a medium rare ribeye steak.

I've been hooked (pun intended) on fishing since I caught my first king salmon in Neah Bay when I was 10. He was at least a 25 pounder and it took me about 10 minutes to bring him in. <---- This is true.

But you should have seen the one that got away that day. He must've at least been 100lbs and 10 feet long! <---- Fish story.

Plenty do. Not everyone has the means. Many contribute without going to Africa.

Opinion differs.

http://animalstudiesrepository.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1068&context=acwp_arte
From page 12:

Teleost fish move away from noxious stimuli that would cause pain in mammals. For example, koi carp, C. carpio, move away from a clamp exerting high mechanical pressure to the lip and tail and this withdrawal response is decreased when the fish are lightly anaesthetized

Classical conditioning studies using the negative reinforcement of electric shock is a popular paradigm in fish experiments (e.g. Yoshida & Hirano, 2010). Rainbow trout and goldfish learn to avoid an area where electric shock is given (Dunlop, Millsopp, & Laming, 2006) but trade off the risk of entering the s hock zone when they are fed there to satiate their hunger after 3 days of food deprivation (Millsopp & Laming, 2008). Ehrensing, Michell, and Kastin (1982) demonstrated that responses to electric shock were reduced by the opioid painkiller morphine and that in turn the effect of morphine was blocked by the antagonists MIF -1 and naloxone.

Anomalous behaviours such as tail beating in zebra fish with acid injected near the tail fin (Maximino, 2011), rocking to and fro on the substrate by rainbow trout and common carp injected with noxious chemicals and rubbing of the injection site by rainbow trout and goldfish (Newby, Wilkie, & Stevens, 2009 ; Reilly et al., 2008a; Sneddon, 2003b; Sneddon, Braithwaite, & Gentle, 2003b) are only seen in fish given a potentially painful treatment and not observed in sham -handled controls
