The animal rights nuts have won in Switzerland - to protect fish there
you must kill every one you catch.

"And anglers in the country will have to demonstrate their expertise
by taking a course on humane methods of catching fish, under new
legislation outlined by the Bundesrat - the Swiss Federal Parliament.

The new legislation states that fish caught should be killed
immediately following their capture, with a sharp blow to the head
from a blunt instrument. Under the new regulations, the use of
livebait and barbed hooks is also prohibited except in certain
situations."
