If you have ever caught a fish and felt the pull they give whilst being

lip and wanted to lead me somewhere I would make sure I came in as quick

as
possible. And yes I understand that instinct will tell you to run the

way but if it's painfull then you have no choice, like when police

officers
are taught to restrain someone and guide them where they want them to

walk
by using controlled pain. The ultimate example is, if some one was to

grab a
man by the ********, then I'll guarentee he will gladly go where ever he

is
led.


I'm sure you would struggle real hard if you thought your life
depended on it.

That's besides the point, why on earth subject a lovely, defenseless
creature to that anyway?

Yes, why would you? Why the concern for what others do and the total lack
of concern of your own bloody footprints, killer?


"...Food processing and kindred operations were indicted as the cause of
death of over 6.5 million fish in one case in Iowa..."
"...Steam generation of electricity is estimated to have caused up to 179
million fish deaths annually through entrainment at one plant in
Connecticut, and up to 20 million per day at another. Annual losses at a New
Jersey plant have been estimated at 150 million eggs and 100 million larvae
of 24 species..."

So, if you are really concerned about lessening the number of fish killed, I
suggest you get up off your lard-butt, get rid of your computer, turn off
the A/C, and take up fishing. Not only will giving up some electric useage,
will you stop contributing to the ever increasing demand for more power, you
will replace many of the bloody veggies calories with those of fresh fish.
Of course, we already know that saving animals is of no concern to you, all
you want is to be able to spew your hate and demonize others, right
hypocrite?
