Then I'm missing the point. Is Peta saying that it's only ok for commercial fisherman to fish our waters while people trying to catch dinner for the evening can't do so?
nobody seeing that billboard needs to fish line and hook in order to survive, and i doubt many people in the developed world need to either.
well i can't speak for PETA, but i would guess that PETA is advocating that if fish are to be killed, it ought to be done ethically and in a manner as to cause as little suffering as possible to the fish.
So now we're stuck with having to buy only what's in the store? what if I enjoy going out in the ocean and catching a 100 pound halibut, taking it back home and living off of that for a week?
But I just don't see how that can ever be resolved. Either you catch them with a hook or you net them and let them suffocate. The only other alternative I can think of is shooting them with a tranquilizer then reeling them in...but that seems a little excessive
I'm pretty sure that is the reasoning behind such a billboard. No where on it does it say anything about gutting children, not catching/eating fish period, etc.
I do not agree with many of the extremist things PETA says, but in this case I believe they have a valid point.
Actually you would be surprised how many people fish and hunt to lessen the impact of grocery bills.
I do.
well that was the purpose of the ad... to make people realize that they are hurting a living, breathing creature. now some people obviously don't care and will continue to fish because they value the happiness from fishing their own fish more than not harming innocent creatures, but PETA is clearly hoping that at least a few people will think maybe it is not worth it.

Peta believes that fish shouldn't be killed at all. As for that, I'm having fish for dinner tonight!
I don't agree with them but I wouldn't have a problem with them throwing billboards up...That's their freedom of whatever...
Well then you should not defend them unless you investigate their motives. PETA wants everyone to be vegetarian.
i can't imagine that the time you would have to spend fishing and hunting, not to mention on equipment, would somehow be less costly than buying cans of tuna
but that's ok, i realize you might want fish other than tuna... you may need to do it survive, and i'm sure there are some other people like you, but you're far and few between the entire population
Your second intelligent response of the thread. It must have taken many years of schooling for you to be able to come up with such witty retorts.
Well I myself personally am not the most fond of fishing. In fact, I hate hurting any living creature..it's just hard for me to realize that I ended something's life. But I still think PETA is pretty radical. I mean, they don't want anybody to fish? Fishing is perhaps one of the oldest food professions around. While I'm not a big fisherman, there are millions of people that fish out there and if I were one of them, I would be a little pissed off
It's well-documented that we get certain nutrients from meat that must be supplemented by vitamins by veggies & vegans. Even so, there may be other nutrients we're not aware of, or ways in which those from animals work which we're not aware of. We aren't meant to be vegetarians, but rather omnivores, and doing anything but can be hazardous to our health & survival.
