Fishing?

I reckon fruit conserve sandwich is so vehemently opposed to the sport of angling because he was a fish in a former life. If you throw him a bait on here he certainly can't resist biting.

Like water off a duck's back..........I'ts turned a friendly bit of banter into an obsession to prove who's ball park we are in.....I think you should get your after life friend to contribute to this forum to explain that the only way to stop a fish-hook entering your gob...Is to keep the gob shut. :rolleyes:

Your reasons were just words on a screen without being verified by a scientific source and thus remain just that – words on a screen with no value.

I have listed several links to various scientific bodies who verify that fish feel pain and suffer because of it – this is another http://www.aish.com/societyWork/sciencenature/Hooked_on_a_Cruel_Sport.asp

I even listed a link to the opposite view, but there is only one that I can find. There is overwhelming evidence by scientists far clever than you, I and the rest of this forum put together that have come to the conclusion that fish feel pain and suffer because of it.

So where is your proof that fish don’t feel pain?

What you do at the weekend and what you think about is no concern of mine but it will not alter the simple fact that a) fishing is not a sport and b) deliberately injuring a fish for your own pleasure can only be described as sadism.

If you cannot accept that then there is no more to be said as I have no intention of repeating myself.
 
This a silly debate jambutty where your words will mean nothing to me or anyone , your opinion i couldnt care less about. This thread i made was for asking about who went fishing etc not for your to come on this thread and share your views on if you dont like it and how you feel for some fish.
Make your own thread!

Well you are taking part in it.

Then after joining in the debate you suddenly decide that it has drifted off topic. How come you didn’t take that view after my first post in this thread?

That wouldn’t be because you have no verifiable way of countering my accusation that fishing with a rod, line and hook and then returning the fish to the water for some other angler to catch is cruel as enjoyable, would it? And you see the ‘off topic’ card as a means of wriggling off the hook.

If you are not prepared to admit to the world that fishing for please is cruel then admit it to yourself.
 
One thing il give you Jambutty is that your posts amuse me , but i am easily amused :)

However i wont admit it as its not my view. The reason i want to end this off topic debate as its going to far and going on and on and on , and no-one is going to admit there wrong because we all have different views not because im wriggling off the hook.
If you want to keep debating this then by all means make your own thread and i think everyone will share there views on that.

If you wanted to end the so called off topic debate, then why did you make post #29?

Surely the way to end your participation in a debate is to just stop contributing?

I think that you are missing the point. This fishing discussion isn’t about right or wrong but about whether fishing for enjoyment is cruel or not.

I take the view that it is cruel and presented lots of scientific evidence to legitimise my view. I haven’t suggested that you or anyone else should stop fishing for pleasure, just to recognise that in the light of overwhelming evidence that fishing for personal enjoyment is cruel.

And that is my last word in this thread.
