Thread Name: BS: 'free vote' about fox hunting?
Subject: RE: BS: 'free vote' about fox hunting?
Our village is right in the centre of many watery places, lakes, rivers and streams. So we get dozens of anglers. I can't accept a 'sport' where a cruel hook is cunningly inserted in an inedible fish's mouth and it's yanked ashore to die. If it's later returned to the water, it must be in agony. Fish do have a nervous system.

I don't object to eating various creatures if they are killed quickly and humanely, and not for some sadistic pleasure.
And I don't object to farmers controlling pests such as foxes etc if it's done instantly with no suffering.

If we could eat kangaroo, there would be a handy pouch one could stuff with sage-and-onion...
