Its very very cruel and far crueler than catching a few fish down the river

People will say yeah but at least me and the kids are having tuna sarnies for tea but if they saw videos of what went on they would soon change their mind
But mass netting accounts for cod plaice hake and most other day to day white fish in a fishmongers.
The difference is they are caught to eat.
You catch fish to hurt them traumatise them by dragging them fighting and gasping out of their natural environment and then throwing them back in just before they die so you or someone like you can do it again and again to the poor thing, until someone decides to eat it. If it didn't do them any harm they wouldn't fight the line and that would deprived anglers of their sadistic pleasure.
Cruel bugger!
