"No kill" fishing now forbidden in Switzerland !

Shung · Mar 5, 2009

You cannot fish "no kill" anymore in Switzerland !

making an animal suffer if you don't kill is illegal, so you have to kill every fish,

no matter if the size is not big enough.. If you release it it's illegal. If you kill it and keep it, its illegal, because too small. So you just have to release it in the water.. DEAD..

The leftiest and green parties have scored another victory against common-sense and liberties !

Sure they will soon go after our hunting rights where it's still legal to do so !

I know this is not completely gun related, however those nuts are part of the same movement as anti-hunt, and anti-guns are !

And they follow the same retarded logics !

what a shame...

That's one of the dumbest things I have ever heard of. Are people really this stupid?

Shung · Mar 5, 2009

They are indeed..

you know, their only goal is to outlaw fishing... like with the guns, they go step by step.. you know, by any means..

I would love to read the link, but I don't speak the language?

I want to comment your post, but I don´t know what to say about the collective intelligence of those involved in that decision, without beeing banned. :cuss:

:banghead: :fire:

You are probably right regarding your forecast, Shung. Hunting only allowed with the 40 mm powder marker practice rounds for the M203... Everybody ever seen an orange elk?

As a catch-and-release flyfisherman, I have to say that that is the most insane thing I've seen in at least a few days. Unreal..

the solution would be to give these people a decent end when they get really sick, or when they are involved in a car crash.. I dont like seeing people suffering that much neither.. :neener:

Soon they will require permits to kill bugs crawling in your house. Anything to get money out of you and place control over your freedoms.

This is disgusting. I guess Europe is going straight to hell. Is there any haven in Europe anymore? These liberal nazis won't stop until its illegal to breathe!

Grassman · Mar 5, 2009

It's funny, you can do practically anything you want these days if you have enough money. The dems will justify it if they can get a tax buck out of it.

It could be worse, you could be living in New Jersey. :evil:

And anglers in the country will have to demonstrate their expertise by taking a course on humane methods of catching fish

The new legislation states that fish caught should be killed immediately following their capture, with a sharp blow to the head from a blunt instrument.

Does that mean other methods of killing them is illegal? Or just that not killing them is illegal?
I can see it now
"Man charged with killing fish in unapproved manner".

Under the new regulations, the use of livebait and barbed hooks is also prohibited except in certain situations.

No live bait! Using worms is a crime!

No barbed hooks. I wonder if you can still use a gaff?

If it is illegal to catch and release, but illegal to also catch and keep something under the legal size limit, do you have to break the law? No of course not, you bash it's head in and throw it overboard!
So fortunate they made fishing more humane.

Legislation written by people who know nothing about what they are legislating.
All too common with firearm laws.

Thats correct Shung, one should always be consistent...

Soon they will require permits to kill bugs crawling in your house. Anything to get money out of you and place control over your freedoms.

This is true about Europe. The reason for the ever increasing illogical taxes are the cost of healthcare for an aging population but first and foremost the welfare for non European immigrants.

Governments can´t cope with these costs and try to secretly steal money wherever possible. Favourites are always defence spendings. Sweden can´t even defend the capital anymore now. Second are the schools, and then we have the "environmental" extra taxes. Fuel, carbon emissions, ammunition...

How large is your "carbon footprint"? :barf:

Catch and release is a form of torture. Killing the fish ends the pain, it is humane. We need to learn to respect all forms of life. God Bless.

Shung · Mar 5, 2009

What's next ? no livebaits like worms ? oh no wait.. We already learned to respect that form of life. No livebites allowed..

maybe we should think about protecting flies and mosquitos.. i really hate seeing people smashing them.. it really hurts me..

Catch and release is a form of torture. Killing the fish ends the pain, it is humane

and if the fish is not big enough ? you don't release it and kill it not to "torture" it ?

c'mon..

That's why I always take a bear with me when I'm fishing in Switzerland.
He eats all the fish we pull out of the water. No corpus delicti, no crime.
And it's all natural, because he visits the woods afterward.

Shung · Mar 5, 2009

Are you sure you that are "respecting" that bear enough ? Making a bear eat fishes that do not belong to his usual diet, is a felony. They might sue you (greens) for unnopriate care and disrespect for wildlife.

Also, be sure to get a permit that allows a foreign bear to take a dump in our forests.. according to what he might have eaten in the USA, you could be illegally importing foreign plants in our parks, which is a felony as well.

:neener:

Funderb · Mar 5, 2009

it really isn't fishing any more, just catching.

the question I have is,

How do you quickly and humanely kill a fish? with a gun?
With a rock? that ruins the fish. This is beyond childish.

Timradcliffe345 · Mar 5, 2009

and if the fish is not big enough ? you don't release it and kill it not to "torture" it ?

c'mon..

Let's take a look at your argument. A fisherman hooks a fish and perforates part of its body, and it suffers immense pain. Ending the fish's life would end the pain. Releasing it will not. You may not think highly of other life forms, but I do.
