In Wisconsin, you can't transport live caught fish, so when I load the boat on the trailer, I pull the drainplug in the livewell and they slowly suffocate on the way home. If they aren't dead then, the knife finishes them off.

          Sounds kinda mean, why don't you just finish them off before you start driving?

            Not sure what to think of the new show "Swords." Although I always heard that THAT was actually the most dangerous job, with crab fishing being a close second.

              Well, to be practical, they keep longer if you don't kill them right away.

                Is it really a big difference for a matter of hours?

                I'm not being judgmental, I'm just curious. I know some people believe animals don't have souls, but I don't necessarily understand why we can't execute the coup de grace (sp?) quickly instead of letting them suffocate to death.

                  According to Wikipedia Japan's quota is 1330 total, so 38,000 is a little off that mark.

                  I have my doubts that they're being used for research and if they're not they need to be shut down, but the Sea Shepherds are making it hard for me to side with their cause...

                    They're also radically cheating. They're whaling way more than they are say they are.

                      Not saying you're wrong, but who's making that claim?

                        I meant the number of Minke Whales left in the world...

                        and I was off. It's actually 665,074. Wow. Not that this make what Japan is doing okay, but they don't seem to be endangered.
