I agree Carl. Animal abuse is rampant here and all over the world. It's OK to use animals to meet certain of our needs, but they should be well-treated during their life and killed humanely when the time comes.

Amen, but putting mink, baby calves etc in pens & cutting chickens'
beaks off etc. is a horrendous WRONG & causes pain & suffering to
innocent animals. To use animals for food is not evil as long as one
does it with humane methods. How woud you like to live in a cage just a
bit larger than yourself all your short miserable life? As to Catch &
release I recall a single lone bass in the shallows near our cabin being
caught 6 times in the course of a week. (we tagged it the first day) It
couldn't have experienced pain under those circumstances, so I must
believe that a lip caught fish isn't injured & agree with the experts.
