I think it was Jackbox who answered the question and I totally agree. When do you stop feeling......never, and I'd have to add unfortunately

I agree - I'm not a 'pass the smelling salts' type or someone who cannot stand the sight of blood or face reality. Hasn't stopped me caring passionately about things I feel strongly about. I want to be informed. Not kept in the dark.

All this because you saw a chef, say " one for the pot" , what on earth do you think fishermen do with their catches....

Stroke it on the head and say...there, there



Yet, you only want one side aired on TV

Hi I am aware of what happens when fish are caught,but what I was trying to say is,he communicated with it and it responded,and as I said it showed it had feelings,its probably taken it a bit far,but if I spoke to someone clasped hands,then hit them over the head,I would be regarded as the lowest of the low,so to me all creatures have a right to life.It may have only been a lobster,but a lot of people say that,what a fuss its only a dog or a cat where do we stop showing compassion and care.Gemini54

Gemini, if you thought that way about all living things, including plants and vegetables, you would starve.

I couldn't agree with you more.
It has to be said however, you must be rather lacking in compassion if your a fisherman anyways in my, probably quite unpopular judging from earlier posts, opinion.
I can't imagine many more painful ways to go then being shoved somewhere you can't breathe and suffocating or worse, being dragged in the nets with so many under so much pressure your organs pop out through your mouth....
I take great pleasure in sabotaging anglers efforts out and about

But plants and vegetables have no nervous system?
So presumably they can't feel any sort of emotion or suffering?

So I take it your principles stop you eating meat/fish, or taking any form of medication.. cosmetics , shower get , creams and so on and so on.

I am sure your answer to all the above will be yes.... as someone with such convictions that they would take pleasure in sabotaging others, would never be a third party in any form of animal use for human benefit.

I use cosmetics, creams etc of course, ethically produced ones.

I only eat fair trade, preferably organic food too and if money was no object that would extend to clothing as well.

I'm all for human and animal rights BUT I have never have been and never will be a person who will stand by and watch injustice or cruelty.
To anyone. Person or animal.

Anyone who harms another be that another person or an animal is in my mind a revolting person.

If I see a someone harming fish FOR FUN as in angling I WILL intervene.
In the same way as if I saw a child being bullied I would absolutely step in or someone beating their wife like the nigella incident.

There is no animal use for human benefit in my mind.
Many medications that have passed animal trials have gone on to kill people.
Likewise, many medications that failed animal trials, penicillin for example, proved successful for people. Indeed, if Fleming hadn't used it in desperation on a patient it would never have been discovered seeing as it either kills or causes serious defects in test animals.
There are better, more reliable alternatives but drug companies continue to trick people because animal trials re cheap. And largely ineffective.

So Do you eat fish ??
