Like you I am not a fan of the commercial places where the fish are jumping out of the pond at you

I do a lot of sea fishing these days but a lot of sea anglers are tossers and leave loads of litter unlike coarse anglers who on the whole tend to keep places tidy

An element of cruelty , unintentional , in fishing is unavoidable sadly

Unlike fox hunting which I really can't abide
I honestly don’t know how fox hunters can enjoy it.
Love to see them set on by a pack of dogs.

I don’t get dear hunting either.
Taking enjoyment of killing a beautiful animal just astounds me. At least they usually eat the animals and I understand the argument about culling…I just couldn’t do it!
