Is it ethically justifiable? How much much suffering is caused by catch & release fishing?Kristie wrote:So, sport fishermen have basically no ethical sense?Robert_S wrote:Ah, but is causing suffering for sport the sign of a person with any ethical sense worth speaking of?Seth wrote:Sure, if they want to go to jail for murder.

And does stocking a lake or river justify it further?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

That specific thing may not be ethically justifiable to everyone, but you said "a person with any ethical sense worth speaking of". I'm sure there are plenty of sport fishermen that have an otherwise reasonable ethical sense.Robert_S wrote: Is it ethically justifiable? How much much suffering is caused by catch & release fishing?
