GUEST,Izaak Walton | BS: 'Shooting fish in a barrel'?? (72* d) | RE: BS: 'Shooting fish in a barrel'?? | 28 Nov 04 |
Fish were (and still are in some ports) delivered to the quayside in barrels to be gutted by the fishwives. They are not humanely killed before this process is carried out, they are still wriggling in their final death throes. Obviously it would be extremely easy to shoot a fish in this condition, to put it out of its misery, but it would probably be prohibitively expensive ... |
