Is there anything you can bring kayaking, swimming, or really anywhere people are fishing that will scare the fish away from the fishers? Ideally something not very obvious, and for kayaking something you can easily turn on near fishers and off when you’re not near them?

    Fishing violates their freedom far more than me trying to protect the fish violates the freedom of fishers. But like most injustices, the oppressor sees their oppression being stopped as their rights being taken away.

    Is “presence of mind” what gives somone moral relevance? If so, you’d have no problem with someone hunting infants or humans in comas, right?

    The people who would be fish-blocked by me do not need to eat or harvest meat, so me trying to stop them is just as “militantly jainist” as trying to stop dog fights, another form of unnecessary violence to other animals.

      I’m sure the shark asks for consent before he swims up to the tuna and takes a chunk out of him. Animals eat animals. We are an animal.

        Some humans have the presence of mind to realize we don’t need to eat other animals to thrive, and stop because it’s not good to cause unnecessary harm
