Man impaled by swordfish

[Lager]

A man has died in Hawaii after apparently being impaled by the bill of a swordfish.
The fishing boat captain spotted the fish swimming in Honokohau harbour on Hawaii island, said a local government office.
He jumped into the water and speared the fish, but the fish then struck him in the chest, said witnesses.

Riposte!

Kry vir jou.

Feel little sympathy for someone who could kill such a magnificent fish in the name of sport. Karma is a bitch.

Had to happen sooner or later.

You a vegetarian?

I've got no problem killing animals for food, but killing them for sport is a different matter.

Does the article say it was for sport? The name gave it away has him being a local (ie pure hawaiian)

live by the sword, die by the swordfish?

Don't bring a spear to a sword fight.

What't the difference? The animal dies in both cases. At least the wild animal got to experience the wild up until that point, unlike the poor chicken who gets battery farmed.

I guess by that standard it's OK to put a firecracker up a dog's arse and set it alight. Cuz at the end of the day it's just a dog dying, at least it hopefully had a good life up until that point.

What if this was a blow fish ...... would the job the fish did be more pleasurable?

 

[The_Ogre]

[skinndeep]

I'm simply pointing out the irony in complaining because a swordfish got shot while the guy complaining is probably scarfing down a steak this weekend. In both cases the animals had to die unnecessarily. I'm pretty sure neither the cow nor the swordfish wants to die for your entertainment, be it eating or recreational. You can't complain about the one while advocating the other.

No idea wtf your implication of animal abuse comes from.

This reminds me of how someone unfriended me on facebook because I defended an officer using lethal force when attacked by a dog. Some people...
