I got invited to go fishing with some coworkers and had to say no. It's kind of a shame since I don't have any friends and it was a chance to do something social, plus the area they wanted to go is chill and out in the woods. But I've never been comfortable with fishing. It's a big part of where I grew up. Lots of people don't even eat the fish. They toss the poor things back in the water.

Maybe I could still go but just hang out on the shore.

    My gut instinct is all of it's cruel in comparison to something like a fish farm (if we're going to be eating them) since it's still fucking around with animals in their own habitat without good cause, even if they're not traumatized or if they're killed humanely
