[Closed] Fishing.

Sooooo..

I saw a programme on the beeb last night outlining the fact that mankind is completely decimating the seas and that about a gazillion tons of fish are being removed each year. Sharks in particular are having an especially shitty time as they are hunted for fins and the bulk of the meat is thrown back in..

However tonight I was watching a show where an excitable northern chap was fishing away in Africa for "sport" and patronising the locals, he looked to be having a great time and caught a shark.
The show then offered a prize of a shark fishing trip to somewhere...

So is fishing for sport cruel and pointless or does it have value in the modern world?
