I'm sure PETA and similar organizations would agree that this analogy is spot on.........
Because .....
Fishing is a cruel and barbaric activity.
C&R is just as cruel because Sea Kittens feel pain.
Losing the business and taxes is a necessary step to eliminating the pain and suffering brought upon this world by fishermen.
There is no need for anyone to fish period.
Eating fish is hazardous to your health.
Etc, etc, etc.........
Dont fool yourself.....
A large percentage of the people behind these closures want to eliminate fishing...period....
The rest dont give a flying rats ass about fishing because it doesnt affect them, so "saving the environment" and rescuing Sea Kittens sounds reasonable and the politically correct thing to do.
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.....This is the point Aquatic Hunter is making
If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out. But if you place it gently in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, it will float there quite placidly. As the water gradually heats up, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled to death. - Daniel Quinn
Oh...and you lobster guys are the worst....boiling Sea Kittens alive
Hmmm....Steak and lobster....I'm getting hungry.....but I think I'll have a smoke first....
