Humans and higher mammals.

Do they feel pain? Do they get stressed? </p>

What do you reckon then Mr Fisherman?</p>

 

RE: Well keep control of it

I honestly don't know where he goes for a ****. He pisses in our garden but I don't think he shits here.

In our last house a neighbour mentioned that our cat **** in his garden, so I set up an outdoor litter tray and that cured the problem.

 

But you eat fish.

So you're just as bad.

 

RE: Me too

How do you know?

 

Had a few not long ago

The take-away was all out of Africans.

 

theres only been one recorded scientific results of fish feeling 'genuine' pain but then again I dont think i would be impressed being injected with wasp venom. Given what most fish eat, theres a lack of apin receptors in the mouth and throat area. Stress is a different matter as when hooked they do suffer from stress, however, any angler worth his salt keeps that to a minimum as fish health is the numbe rone priorty. However, alot of anglers are the sports own worse enemy.

 

Angling is a sport?

I can see the net, but is it 11 a side?

 

Only three sports, Fishing,Shooting and hunting, the rest are games.

 

Why stop at animals?

My hoover has been giving me the eye for some time now.

 

I don't think there's been too much research on the subject tbh, but I think it's down to intellence and the ability to learn too. Sharks for example have been studied a bit and found to be more intelligent than thought.</p>

What's the difference between shooting and hunting?

In shooting do you just put stuff in a barrel and blast away but in hunting you have to find it first?

 

Is this about breeding?

And humans breeding across races? Because surely the nearest you get to race with dogs (for example) would be breeds, and they interbreed if left to their own devices, it's only humans that prevent them from doing so.

HAve you been at the sheep again?

 

oh fish are very very intellegent, anyone who says otherwise is very naive. From birth they mentally evolve and will understand what is safe and dangerous. Some of the big carp anglers spend weeks and months targeting fish with no joy as they are very wary to everything. One tackle company, korda, did a few feature DVD's about the underwater habits of big carp and you can see them sifting the baits making sure there isnt any resistance.

 

something liek that, and shooting you have to dress up silly as well

 

Undoubtedly

Some fish hunt in packs, requiring cooperation and forward-planning. There's nowt daft about fish, even if they look it. A bit like me.

 

majority of fish in the uk are shoal fish.

 

When Horses breed accross races

with Donkeys you get an ass.

Which is sterile.

Natures way of saying it's wrong. Pack it in.

 

Interesting stuff. nt

 

Fishing is. Its only the idiots who get into mainstream press and ruin it for everyone else. it doesnt help that certain media outlets seem to have their political agenda's

 

LOL. No. nt
