Fishing is a good acid test of how far down the value of animal lives are in almost everyone's minds. Here we have an activity that's almost universally seen as something wholesome, when really it's just a form of super casual, lowkey animal abuse.

Plenty of other nice things to spend time doing on the water, like swimming or kayaking.

    Exactly.

    But also, kayaking is awesome. Like even from a purely recreational perspective, why do so many choose to fish when they could be kayaking?

    Why choose? I often fish from a kayak, even hunt ducks and geese on the water in one.

    Because all of those animals just want to live their lives, and there is no good reason to take that away.
