I'm wondering specifically what the objections to fishing are?
The thread has hinted at the damage caused to other wildlife by discarded tackle, etc. but the term "bloodsport" has also appeared a few times.
From my own experience as an ex-fisherman I agree with what Cherrybee said - Those fishing generally take great care the fish they catch. They also take responsibility for the way they leave a swim. In general they have a great deal of knowledge about the wildlife and for many catching fish is only a small part of the pleasure they gain from their pastime.
Discarded tackle is a disgrace but it isn't fishing that teaches such a basic lack of respect and those responsible would be showing the same dis-respect whatever they were doing so banning fishing would make no difference to the attitude of those people.
"bloodsport" in my book means an activity where there is a deliberate intention to kill. Applying this label to fishing is, IMO, extreme and mis-guided.
Polecat your posts unfortunately read as overly reactionary and you've leapt to some conclusions. How did a thread about fishing became Wab supports bloodsport and carries adverts for it?
BTW, the adverts are generated on-the-fly by google to match keywords it finds on the page the advert appears on - it's happened at the bottom of this thread as well now!
