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.
Catching and eating the fish is also just for fun, unless you live in a situation where you are sustenance hunting.
People choosing not to eat food that isn't fish, just so they can go out and kill an animal is cruelty. More so than catch and release, which is also cruelty.
