Fishing is barbaric

(or an unpopular opinion)

Fish have as complex an emotional life as mammals and the practice of sport fishing where you drag them out of their element by a steel hook caught in their digestive tract is unbelievably cruel. We would be horrified by catching a squirrel or a kitten in the same way but we think nothing of lifting a fish out of their element, tearing the steel hook from their throat with a pair of pliers, and throwing it back into the water.
