Laying here on display
Suppose we made someone’s day
Fish deserve a time to play
Without being a fishing lure’s prey
Here we lie
With our dead eyes
When we decide to swim
It’s not just a whim
It’s for survival, food
You see the paradox
You encrued
Using us for your own
Meals you feast on to our bones.

I’m with you, Christine! If anybody wants to gut a fish in my kitchen, I’m running away!

Sort of whimsical and creepy at the same time. The dead eyes…I don’t know why but fish gross me out a bit. The bigs ones at least. I think it is from the time my son gutted a fish in my kitchen and I nearly threw up seeing what was inside that little fishy body!

I never understood anyone who could put their hand inside of a fish and pull out the guts so gross

oh my goodness, when my son cut that fish open I nearly threw up right then and there. It was disgusting. I can’t stand any of that butchering stuff. I love watching Homestead Rescue and that seems like a great idea but I’m not killing animals.

I haven’t heard of that show, but it sounds good I like most rescue programs. I do not care for any of the killing or curing of animals though. And after you watch how a fish is caught and I consider tortured when they throw it back in, I think they’re saving their lives. It doesn’t give you an appetite for sure.

You know I have always wondered about fisherman throwing the fish back. I have heard that they don’t use hooks or something so then how does it catch them? And if you have to take out the hook isn’t that painful? I could probably look it up online but I really don’t want to see it. I’m okay if people want to hunt animals for food but not just for fun.

They probably use nets if a larger quantity, but just Joe Schmo fishing and hooking them and throwing back to “save” them I always think of as cruel.
