Fishing? Well, I'm kinda ambivalent on that one, especially if people eat what they catch - after all, I used to do a bit of fishing myself, when I was a lot younger (read: about 10, 15 years ago). The fact I never caught anything is partly why I stopped going, and of course I didn't like the idea of trying to retrieve a hook from a fish's throat (because I'm such a "liberal leftie" I didn't even like the idea of sticking a hook through a maggot. Didn't mind the maggots, just didn't want to skewer them.) Since science has acknowledged the fish (probably) suffer when they're caught makes me disinclined to start again. But then, so many people just sit there and don't catch anything, so...

I'm pretty liberal myself, but I still enjoy gooey green blood of a worm spurting out as you prepare it so you can nick a bass. I typically do stuff like lake fishing and pond fishing, I can't stand river fishing because I always get snagged. The hook in the fish's mouth is nothing, just hope it doesn't go deeper, then it's rreally hrd to get it out.
