with sam hunt reading?

I personally envisage it read in a style akin to Eric Idle's declamation of the poet Ewan McTeagle's masterpiece, 'Can I have fifty pounds to mend the shed'.

I even walk on grass.

Is that in bare feet so you can be at one with nature?

Oh jeez,thanks for the memories - I don't know if he's still around,last time I saw him he was living on Waiheke when I was there - he had an old Valiant he grafted some huge fins on,a heap of shit,still had his tight jeans and he talked so loud in that special Sam Hunt cadence that you had plenty of time to avoid him.He was on stage at Nambasa,for,um...37hrs straight,well,it seemed like that,just on and on and on and on about ''this is one I wrote...'' even further back he used to haunt the same West Auckland vineyards we did,in an old International ambulance.Can't stand the man...I'd guess I'm not alone with that....

They're fish. They smell bad, they taste worse, and they have horrible sharp bits that always end up giving you a nice infected cut on some place that's impossible to apply a dressing.

I reckon we should stop pissing about and start poisoning the sea PROPERLY. None of this run-off crap, just set up factories on the coast that spew toxic waste directly into the sea.

That'll learn the buggers.

And get rid of those bloody cute sea mammals (whales, seals, dolphins) that everyone reckons are cute, but I reckon are just biding their time for just the right moment to take over the world.

Get them before it's too late.

And what's up with crabs? Walk properly ya daft buggers!

I half agree and half not agree with the article.

As far as I am concerned hunting, fishing etc should be fine so long as you aint tormenting the animal - because the latter isnt sport its sadism.

For example, fox hunting would be ok if there were lots of foxes and you went out and shot them with a rifle - like rabbit hunting. But making it run in fear of its life for hours on end and then getting a bunch of dogs to tear it apart is just plain sadistic and cruel.

Same with fishing. Use a heavy duty line, catch the marlin, real it in quickly and put it in the freezer, no problems with that - but using a light line and making it swim around til it tires it self out (for plain sport) is cruel and sadistic. Doesnt matter if the animal can feel anything or not - tormenting something in my book is just plain wrong.

I think thats the point they were trying to make, there is a different between doing something for sport and doing something just to take pleasure in being cruel.

A Northland SPCA inspector says he is prepared to prosecute gamefishers for animal cruelty on the grounds that fish have feelings.

Bay of Islands inspector Jim Boyd wants gamefishing to stop, claiming fish can feel pain and that fishing causes them "severe distress".

He warned gamefishers they could face fines of up to $125,000 and/or six months in jail

what the f#@k

Said inspector may have bitten off more than he can chew. I hope he devotes an appropriate amount of time to commercial fishers who snare albatrosses on long lines, or dolphins & seals in their nets.

Well, probably, but who, apart from Mr Boyd, gives a toss what a fish feels?

I think Tiggerz put a good case that I agree with. Note that I have shot and killed a few things over the years and would not put myself in the "love the little critters class "

Arrr remember the SPCA inspector has a vested interest in this. Come on he gets to go out on the sea in a big boat paid for by others so he can justify his sad bastard life. I hope he only eats shit as that's the only food that will not feel any pain when it is got ready for consumption. Fucken dick heads.
