Catch and Release
5/05/2006
Imagine you've got a free weekend and you'd like to do a little 'sportsman' activity to wind down and get 'closer to nature.'
So you get this great idea. You tie a stray cat to a long tether. This cat is hungry, so you tease it with a morsel of food. The cat cautiously moves toward you, and when it's close enough to take the bait you whack it on the head with a stick with a nail on the end. Not enough to kill it, just enough to stress it and cause it intense pain.
This cat learns your game, so you find another animal. Your neighbor's dog, for instance. Now he might take the bait two or three times. Maybe not.
Now imagine that every good ol' boy in your neighborhood is tying up all these animals and whacking them with nailed sticks 'for sport,' then letting them go so the next guy down the street can have his turn.
Later it is discovered that every 20th whack kills them. Do you feel much like a sportsman now?
Probably not.
So why do so many people think that 'catch and release' fishing is any different?
