FISHING is not a sport but an attempt to eradicate fish from the world, fishermen have confirmed.
The nation’s fishermen spoke out to dispel misconceptions that this is some kind of game to them.
Norman Steele of Kendal said: “Do people really imagine that we sit in the freezing cold with only a box of writhing maggots for company as some kind of challenge to ourselves?
“What you see is not a man calmly enjoying nature but the stillness of cold, implacable hatred.
“We loathe fish, from their slippery tails to their protruding eyes, and we will not rest until they are cleansed from Britain’s waterways.
“I could catch them in a net. Instead I pierce their lips with a steel hook and drag them, inch by struggling inch, out of their living environment and take a selfie as they’re in their death throes.
“Some fishermen throw them back, yes, but only to give them the pain of false hope before pulling them out again.
“Cruel, but these are fish. There is no limit to the suffering they deserve.”
Vegetarians who eat fish have also confirmed that it has nothing to do with that central nervous system business, they just love helping to exterminate the abominations of the deep.
