RE: Black and White Thursday
Not around here they don't which is what I base my assessment on. People fish for food. So yeah, they die a horrible death being hooked, pulled out of the water where they can't breathe and then they die.
Don't know what happens where you are but that's what happens here.
Almost the same in here. I am one of the few that release most of the fish I catch. Sometimes I keep some for my parents but the majority get back in the water. Some die soon after I release them unfortunately, but I try as much as I can to get them back alive. It's due to excessive fishing that these waters around here don't have that much fish anymore as they had when I was a kid or even longer before. Pike for example is almost extinct.
Yes, humans have a way of using up something until it is no more.
Here they just put a ban on fishing for Snapper near Whyalla, for the next 3 years or so to build up the numbers. Problem is fisherman will fish out the other species. Senseless.
I don't fish much, maybe once a year, if that. I don't even hunt. Mainly just cull. (Feral animal control.)
In my area I would ban commercial fishing for at least five years but the corrupt system doesn't see the problem with fish as long as they get their share. Sad...but true.
