I'm sure that you have all seen the Google ad, paid for by our good friends at PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)..the ad says "Fishing Hurts - You wouldn't impale a dog in the mouth, why do it to a fish?"
OK, so I finally decided to click that link just to see what they're talking about (I knew it would be ridiculous). But REALLY!!! LOL It's worth a read just for the humor factor. Here's a link to it:

These people actually go so far as to compare a fish to a baby! "A fish is a dog is a child"
Here are a couple of quotes from the fishing hurts website that should really be posted in the fish humor section:
"Even when thrown back, fish are forced to endure a violent and frightening ordeal. " - Awww! Poor fish!! Here, let me throw you in a frying pan...that will put an end to the frightening ordeal!
"Fishing is just as cruel as tossing Rover a biscuit on a hook and then reeling in the old boy. The only difference is that Rover is cute and cuddly. But don't let the scales and gills fool you: Those fish have feelings, too."
If fish have feelings then they should tell someone who cares!
The terrible part about all of this is that there are people in the world who believe the dribble that PETA spews out on a daily basis. Forget the poor fish and start worrying about the poor vegetarians. They're the ones with the real problems!
Look for the "Fishing Hurts" link and click it. It's some funny stuff!
