Live baits have to be.....well.....live....thats the point. You don't have to throw an individual fish onto a pavement. If your on a boat, in tough weather, catching loads of bait you can't knock each on the head, but an individual fish, in a park with families walking past? He had lost the argument with the scum bag before it even started. I catch fish, I kill fish, I eat fish....start that screeching at me and get banged out....as said the vegans kid would have been taught an instant lesson. As it was he saw needless cruelty and his dad getting away with protesting it. (note..im 6 stone piss wet so probably wouldn't bang him out but talking hypothetically ) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darbo 4,776 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 If its for eating knock it on the head straight away job done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogmandont 9,976 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 I totally agree with folks saying the fish should of been knocked straight away but to call it immoral is a bit fecking strong in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGA 117 Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) knocked on the head or not it is odd that the fish was just flapping there on the concrete in the sun. I always take a cool box or a bucket or even just a bag and a wet towel to keep fish cool once so they stay fresh. How long were they going to leave it there. If that guy didn't like his kids seeing that have some balls and say sorry mate but can you just put that fish out of sight somewhere? If the guy gets verbal then just take your kids to the other side of the f***ing massive park and forget about it. Why do people think they need a cause to fight for? Maybe makes them feel important?

In my opinion sticking a hook in a fish and than letting it swim about in pain is not right. There's plenty of other methods to use. Saw a bloke with a frog on the end of a hook. Horrible practice.

In England and Wales, written consent is required from the Environment Agency before you introduce fish into any inland water and it will be an offence to be in possession of live fish between waters without consent. I use to do a lot of live baiting but it doesn't fit to well with me nowadays...mellowing with age . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 8,827 Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 I did a lot of stuff when I was younger that I wouldn't do now. Stuuf I would now consider cruel. You grow up I guess. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
