I read that anglers want cormorants to be killed to stop them eating all the fish.
Fish are food for cormorants. They are sport for anglers.
In the animal world, big eats small. Strong kills weak.
In the human world, we are supposed to be more civilised. Big and strong are not supposed to kill small and weak - not unless you are a member of a government, or a bunch of religious fanatics.
Cormorants are fantastic hard-working, team-building birds.
If anglers run out of fish, they could take up golf or running or any one of a dozen of other sports which would take them out of the house and into the countryside and wouldn’t involve impaling anything with barbed hooks.
The anglers are just like the farmers who want to kill badgers to reduce the risk of their cattle getting diseased. We think we have the right to kill animals which threaten the animals in which we have an interest.
I'm a veggie. I don't want to kill any of them. I know they kill each other. I think we ought to know better.
