@SphinxBarkal Excuse me, spelling police. And I explained the meaning of the video 3 years ago when I posted it. "It's supposed to be ironic. We go fishing by tossing bait into the water, tricking the fish into taking a bite and then ripping them out of their element and into an environment where they can't breathe. This is a reversal of roles."
to those who are criticizing animal rights activists, suck it up, losers, honestly, is trying to stop so many people from eating meat so bad? let them run free, do what they want
Increíble! lo ví hace unos 6 años recién llegada a España y me impresionó tanto que quedó grabado en mi retina...lo he buscado mucho y nada, hasta que me han pasado el enlace el enlace en un foro, Gracias,genial!
Typical, if you found anything on the floor would you eat it ? (neither would I )
Anyway it's just one of those animal rights ads. If the filmaker made decent stuff I would be the 1st to praise him but this is a bias account of fishing and total crap.
I don't have any time for the cruelty argument, it really dosn't wash with me. It is worth noting however that people are consuming far far too much fish (or there are too many people.)
It's supposed to be ironic. We go fishing by tossing bait into the water, tricking the fish into taking a bite and then ripping them out of their element and into an environment where they can't breathe. This is a reversal of roles.
no it's about temptation he tastes the eclair then he looks around to make sure no one is watching him...then he bites into it and it leads to his downfall
at 1:18 you can see footsteps going in to the see so this guy wasnt the fishes first victim :D

I wasn't trying to be a bitch, he's my favorite actor, just saying it was wrong. How would you feel if we put your name to "ladynightwanker"? Huh?
And I was discussing the meaning for the sake of discussion, just as everyone else was.
You can't take criticism, don't post things on YouTube. That simple.

Spelled his name wrong :/ it's McGregor.
And I think the meaning has to do w bait and the irony with the hook. Will explain better some other time.

Go fishing, pull fish from the sea,fish do not feel any pain (I know because I asked a fish "do you feel pain?" the fish replied "NO not any at all").
It is good to eat fish.
DO NOT pull carrots from the ground it's very cruel, carrots feel the most pain.
Stupid film made by dumb-shit, do-gooder hippy vegetarians.
Remember leave those carrots in the ground where they feel most comfortable.

Everything in moderation.
I don't have any time for the cruelty argument, it really dosn't wash with me. It is worth noting however that people are consuming far far too much fish (or there are too many people.)

It's supposed to be ironic. We go fishing by tossing bait into the water, tricking the fish into taking a bite and then ripping them out of their element and into an environment where they can't breathe. This is a reversal of roles.
