Y'all, I'm very very vegetarian, but knocking this dude for recommending fishing is silly. "Fishing or another outside activity that seems relaxing to you" is implicit. People have different morals regarding animals and consumption. I get where you're coming from, but "birdwatching is also a great activity!" is a better and more positive response imo.
That’s implying that fishing is a great activity. That is about as okay as saying it’s okay that people chose not to vote.
I did not state it in a mean way, I simply said it in a way that says please do not encourage animal abuse.
I do not think it’s a good thing to encourage animal abuse, and I don’t think good people should be encouraged to continue normalizing it.
Please don’t ask people to stay silent about cruelty. That’s helps keep it normalized.
@tamal3 is right.
Fucking hell, people, go touch some grass, go meet real human beings. Not everybody adheres to the moral code you construct in your head, and that is FINE!!
