I remember when getting bb guns for Christmas was very common. (in Mexico at least) Come Dec 25th and you needed to be careful out there. Lots of kids shooting at whatever moved: birds, mice, plants, dogs, cats and whatever else. This rarely happens nowadays. Modern society grew out of it for the most part and replaced the style with other sort of activities as video games. Simulated violence that is, but at least it hurts nothing and nobody.
My point is, we all have a naturally violent part of ourselves but we outgrow it. There is a time when you trade your spear gun for an underwater camera and enjoy the results just as much and even more.
I personally, kill fish when I have a chance but never kill more that I can eat. That's my rule and feel pretty good about it.
Some people never outgrow their killing instinct. Sad, very sad.
On the other hand, it is not this type of cruelty that hurts the oceans. It is Commercial Fishing........ heartless, greedy, sick, people. They will drag us all down. They are the planet's enemy and there seems to be nothing we can do.
