I read with absolute dismay the intended cruelty to fish intended by PETA. I thought PETA was on the side of fish, fowl and fauna rather than planning their pain.
Everyone knows that big fish eat little fish. And they eat them alive. The larger ones sneak up on the smaller ones to chomp them up and swallow them down. The larger the fish, the more small ones it will eat. And PETA, unbelievably, wants to further these savage attacks.
The only way to protect innocent little fish is to catch as many of the big predator fish as possible.
Once that protection campaign is successful, we might then wish to do away with eagles and other fish hawks.
