Daily reminder, fish can feel pain.

K den
Prove it

it's okay to eat fish because they don't have any feelings

>>2254413
the animals i've trapped have all become my pets

>>2254330
Sure they can but there is no reason to assume it is a comparable experience to a mammal's pain.
I don't feel like I should stop angling because fish feel pain, all animals we eat do.

Please tell me you threw a pike that small back.

I fish to feed myself and my family. It's very cheap compared to buying meat from the store. And I get to enjoy the outdoors.

I feel a tiny bit guilty sometimes but I gotta eat and I am gentle releasing fish that I'm not taking home.

>>2254330
there's a difference between feeling pain and remembering it

What is your point?

nice

>>2254466
Better than supporting factory farming, if animal suffering is your concern.

>>2254330
ok

>>2254330
And why should I care? Call me heartless sadist, but I don't care about the pain and lives of my food

>>2254330
It feels less pain when I club it upside the head than when it is ripped apart by other fish.

Top fucking kek. You deserve the cancer.

>>2254330
Barely, fish have very primitive pains, their responses to pain are like what you feel when you scratch your knee.even if their fin is ripped off they wont give a shit.

By your logic then you should never bathe from now on, you.might drown. Of course you can't leave your house either due to skin cancer from the sun, so nobody will know. Except for whoever lives with your timid ass, but they will all be dead from radon poison soon anyway, so that doesn't matter.
A fresh caught meal every now and then is not bad for you, every day might be a problem. If you haven't figured out the whole moderation thing by now then at this point you're just taking up space, and valuable oxygen.

What the fuck are you on about? Most bodies of waters are more fucked than tap water. Those straw mans though.

>>2254605
Man up. Straws mans are for children who can't argue. Get yourself a gun or bow and go hunting this season for some meat. I get enough and deep freeze it and have good meat for over 6 months.

you don't even know where i live. i wouldn't eat a fish from a golf course pond filled with runoff, but a fish i caught off the beach is probably safe.

>what is Mercury

>>2254772
you don't know anything about fish, anon. large ocean fish that eat smaller fish accumulate mercury over a long period of time. the fish that i catch to eat are low in mercury and even eating them a few times a week won't make me sick. it's safer than eating canned tuna.

even swordfish is safe to eat once in a while but I've never caught one.

sure

>>2254772
A planet, you fucking mong

>>2254894
None of the fish I catch to eat are on there.

The concept is important too. Apex predators will always have high concentratrions of shit you shouldn't be eating.

>>2254902
A vehicle you even bigger mong.

Everything can give you cancer apparently. Outside of tobacco, who actually keeps up with that shit and treats it as anything more than a joke?

Also, those old ass Japanese people and Okinawan's eat far more fish and less red meat than we do.

You can stun them by hitting them in the head, and then destroy their brains with an icepick or something.
Bloody, but merciful, I guess.

Almost all game fish in Miami's waters are apex predators. We don't worry about mercury though, unless we're fishing in the Glades, but in the ocean, we watch out for Cigutera. It's the same concept as mercury in how it accumulates up the trophic levels.

But can they feel fear?
