 Re: Ignorant Anglers!
I agree with you Mattylad, that is no way to treat a carp or any other fish and the bailiff should be told.
As for the rest of the posts on this thread, must of it is anti angling claptrap, and people should know what they are spouting off about. Let's make something clear here, fish do NOT feel pain; they have no neo-cortex which is the part of the brain which registers pain and fear. So the analogy 'like having your tongue pierced' is rubbish (fish do not even have a tongue).
Most anglers are now educated enough to know not to leave discarded tackle and line laying about. Also lead weights under 1 oz are illegal.
Also Poppy please don't try to fill the fish with bread as you will kill them!!
bread has no nutritional value to a fish so if you give them lots they will actually starve. |
