I know exactly how you feel, I can't imagine hurting any animal. There are a lot of wildlife pests around her, but could not bring myself to harm any of the, I eat fish, but don't like fishing. About 10 years ago we went with some friends in FL, I think it was my first time fishing, I hooked a barracuda about 10 lbs (I think) in the eye. My friends are like oh we don't want that we will throw it back. So they took it off the hook and threw it back, I started crying like a baby, for cripes sakes it was bigger than my yorkie, all I could think about was what if my pup got hooked on something. Everyone is like what, who cries over hooking a fish, it can't feel anything, I was like how do you know. That was 10 years and I have not fished since, probably never will because I just can't see the point of putting a hook into something just for the heck of it then throwing it back. |
