It almost looks like a piercing. There was no way to catch the fish and remove it but it seemed to be doing alright.

    And people have done it for thousands of years and likely will continue to do so. Given that fact, I’d rather them do it in a sustainable way, wouldn’t you?

      Yes. Every improvement is good. But I think it’s important not to forget, and to also remind people, that there are even better alternatives, and questioning something that people have “always” done is actually possible. Social values are constantly evolving, and in my opinion we should move towards de-normalizing hurting animals. They are sentient beings, and causing them suffering for our own entertainment should be discouraged.
