I don’t fish because I feel sorry for the fish that I pull out of the water, its home, struggling and gasping for air with a barbed hook embeded in its mouth.
I went fishing once when I was a youngster but felt so guilty for the suffering I caused to an unsuspecting fish who was only hoping to get a bite of dinner.
Of course all the adults who were with me made a big fuss and praised me for my “big catch” on my first time fishing. But I had tears in my eyes and felt just awful. I vowed never to go fishing again in my life.
Yeah, I know, yes I sometimes eat fish and my cats get canned tuna so who am I to criticize peopel who fish? But that awful guilty feeling is still with me even when I open a can of fish for my cats or order fish and chips. Wierd huh?
On a more sane and happier note, summer is upon us and so I wish everyone the greatest summer ever. Hi StelBel, Cleokaya, Grog, Dry, Sugie, Lonewolf, Chikuku, Comicgos, JPSteve, x_Tech, Coyote, Xane_T, vzs1022 and all who venture here.

Grog, they should figure out a way to help him if they expect to get anything. :^)

Knowing Mel’s track record, perhaps a stop at the fish and seafood dept. in the local supermarket on the way home will be in order…?
