Fishing with cats and kittens :/

[ThePlasmatizer]

All animal cruelty is shameful imo whether it's a cat or as someone said a pig.

Tbh though if cats weren't domesticated we would probably be eating them.

 

[Omnidum]

If it was real you'd hear about it all over the news.

That's true. I saw something about two women who had cat for dinner, and was threatened by seemingly a quarter of Denmark.

 

[hypothetical fact]

First of all, it is fake.

Second, why do people automatically run to get the torches and pitchforks when it involves an animal that is pet or pet-like. Honestly, if there was a video of someone tossing a pig into water and having a shark chomp into it most people would be like omg cool! But as soon as fido or mittens comes into play its time to throw the people to the sharks.

Third, welcome to animals eating other animals, I don't see anyone running to stop the hungry lion from eating the sickly gazelle, it can't defend itself, it can't get away. Or how about the cow that gets slaughtered my machines, he can't get away...

About the fake - Can't be sure.

Second - Still would be cruelty.

Third - I don't recall cats living in the sea or in Africa. So getting eaten by a shark isn't something natural.

1) You never see the hooks physically pierce the cats, every time they lift the cat out of view as they "put it in", you never physically see the cat get eaten by a shark or a marlin. You'd think that maybe a cat would be really pissed off if it had a hook in its back and was dangled from a wire as its flesh was physically stretched but not it is under no distress and just spins there. It is fake.
2) So where do you draw the line of what can or cannot be used as bait?
3) Cows don't normally live in slaughter houses.
And the obvious question is why people would bother to use a cat in the first place. Simply put it is a scam by some idiot to get t-shirts. If it was real you'd hear about it all over the news.

Obvious scam is obvious.
Also don't whine about the kittens when you haven't made a protest about defenceless worms being used as livebait. Those poor worms.

As a side note, people -do- eat them. Just not in western civilization.

-Edit-

Before someone goes off on me on that, I mean as a common foodsource. (Kitty Mills built in the same fashion as a slaughterhouse)

Damn straight. Trollsite. That said, if they took the crossed circle (what do you call those things?) off the T-shirt, I might buy one.

"Venezuela, Mexico and other locales" should be nuked from the face of the earth. Followed by death squads to brutally slaughter any survivors.

 

[God's Clown]

Well, as people go on saying nobody defends worms or fish but cats, there is a reason. Fish feel pain for about...5 seconds, then forget about said pain. Worms, more or less the same. Cat's feel pain, and constantly at that. It is cruel towards a cat, but a worm or fish, not as much. As for cows, humans mass produce cows for food, there isn't naturally millions and millions and millions of cows on earth. Not to mention, said mass produced cows are insta-killed, so they feel no pain. Not to mention, cows fart a lot thus ruin the ozone lair, so they simply must die.

Apparently if we stoped breading cows they would die out, unless they live in ares where we have killed the hunting animals.

I actually want to cry now.
I'll be the first to admit, I'm a crazy cat person. I go mad for them.

Already knew it, but it's hardly commonplace worldwide.

 

[Ranooth]

I honestly thought this was a spoof or a joke when i clicked. But after watching the video im disgusted, I hate cats (im a bird guy) but that's just barbaric!

 

[Corpse XxX]

This makes me so angry i do not know what to say..
Should have done the same with the guys who fish like this, with a giant hook through their nutsack and throwing them overboard..

 

[DannyBoy451]

Meh, it's an animal.

I admit it may look quite "barbaric" to some, but fishing isn't exactly a painless thing, even when the things you're killing don't go *mew*.

If you don't like it then don't go fishing and don't eat fish, simple.

Also: LOL at animal rights ranters on the internets.

But do fish feel in the same way that a cat can?

Oh, and I assume the video is not safe for the easily-disturbed.

They seemed to squirm and writhe a hell of a lot whenever I caught them.
Of course they feel pain, they just can't scream.

 

[bad rider]

... I have to say it....

Sea Kittens.

PETA fail. Anyway, this is fairly cruel in my book. Cats and kittens are family pets. That is what they are bred and raised for. I would no more fish with a cuddly kitten than I would my father's red-bellied piranha. Its a PET!

Well actually there are plenty of ferals that are bred for killing birds. If it's there culture so be it, I highly doubt we will understand. For all we know they see cats as fermin as they have a high population of ferals. (Note that this is not a fact just a reason why)

Fish on a hook has much bigger mobility. It can swim faster and even try to dive deeper, so it has slightly higher chance of surviving.

Ok, I don't agree with fishing with kittens either, but this logic is crazy flawed. The fish is on a line, FORCED to stay near the surface.

It can't dive deeper.
It can't swim far at all.
It has NO chance of survival.
If they don't catch anything with him, they'll reel it back in and throw it in a tank and use it next time.

But you have to look at the double standard here: Fish are just as much animals as kittens are. Why would you say it's ok for fish to be used as bait, but not kittens?

Both experience pain when gouged with a hook.
Both are alive, breathing creatures.
But only one is cute and cuddly.

Seems like a double standard to me.
