Fish don't have nerves to feel pain. Hunting for food is practical. Inflicting pain because you can or bc you enjoy it is messed up.

While some say the debate is not settled, I believe there is ample evidence to say that fish do indeed feel pain. You can find literature in the source above.
Then I recend my statement on fish not feeling pain.
I do however stand by hunting and fishing for sustenance is acceptable. Doing it as a "sport" is not something I agree with.
Its cruel. You do you, but hunting and fishing are red flags to me.
I respect your stance on that.
