Guest...Fish and fishing appear in the gospels over and over, and are therefor held in high regard both symbolically and actually. Being Anglican, there's a possibility that some won't consider me Christian or Christian enough to know.

The point was that to mimic or make fun of one's chosen animal species (and not even a specific individual animal) does not mean an insult to its holder. The folks in the OP's article seem very thin-skinned to me, not to mention determined to make something that wasn't about them, about them.

Peace, Mooh.
