Thread Name: BS: Should fish be sought?
Subject: RE: BS: Should fish be sought?
Speaking of size, I was in the grocer's today and saw lobsters that were so small, I don't know how you could get a feed without killing ten, at least. What the heck are they thinking ?

BTW, I tell the manager of every grocer, whenever I get the chance, that I am disgusted that they keep live lobsters in a tank on display in the store. Now, I am a hunter and fisher. That's right. I kill partridge with a gun. I kill trout and salmon with a hook and line - perhaps the most cruelest of harvesting techniques (although I haven't been able to bring myself to do this for several years - I usually just drink some ales, sing, play Hran and do the cooking on fishing trips with the lads). But gosh ! To take these lobsters from the sea and put them on display in a glass tank where drooling humans pass by them for days on end ? That's sick !
