Compassion : Don't Fish - Fishing Hurts !
-
Imagine reaching for an apple on a tree and having your hand suddenly impaled by a metal hook that drags you - the whole weight of your body pulling on that one hand - out of the air and into an atmosphere in which you cannot breath.
That is what fish - which have well-developed pain receptors, experience when they are hooked for 'Sport'. -
Fishing looks painful...
Ud 5.4PTS: Ud 51Kum�ra Sutta: Boystranslated from the Pali byThanissaro BhikkhuAlternate format:![[PDF icon]](http://www.accesstoinsight.org/img/pdf_24x18.gif)
I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying near SÄ�vatthÄ« at Jeta's Grove, AnÄ�thapiṇá¸�ika's monastery. And on that occasion, a large number of boys on the road between SÄ�vatthÄ« & Jeta's Grove were catching fish. Then early in the morning the Blessed One adjusted his under robe and — carrying his bowl & robes — went into SÄ�vatthÄ« for alms. He saw the large number of boys on the road between SÄ�vatthÄ« & Jeta's Grove catching little fish. Seeing them, he went up to them and, on arrival, said to them, "Boys, do you fear pain? Do you dislike pain?"
"Yes, lord, we fear pain. We dislike pain."
Then, on realizing the significance of that, the Blessed One on that occasion exclaimed:
If you fear pain, if you dislike pain, don't anywhere do an evil deed in open or in secret. If you're doing or will do an evil deed, you won't escape pain catching up as you run away.http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/ud/ud.5.04.than.html -

This is what we do to fish before releasing them back into the water. Look how deep fish hooks can reach the flesh
