On Saturday, several vegan activists gathered at a popular fishing tournament to protest eating meat.
The Wilmington Fish Save and North Carolina Farmed Animal Save organized the protest, called Vigil for Fish, to raise awareness about animal rights during the annual Wrightsville Beach Inshore Challenge, which pays out over $15,000 in cash and prizes to fishermen.
“We’re vegan activists, and we want to bring awareness to what fish go through," said protester Daniel Veber to WCET. “Look at it from this fish’s point of view. If you were in your home, you would not want a hook to be hooked in the mouth, you would not want to be pulled up, you wouldn’t have to fight hours for your life to be pulled up. It’s scary.”
The ten protesters carried signs reading “Sea life not seafood,” “fish feel pain,” and “fish want to live.”
“We want to come out for the fish," said Veber to WCET. "A lot of times, they look so different from us that you don’t really put them into a position where you give them individual status, where they are actually individuals that want to live. They don’t want to pulled out of the water, fish have families, fish want to live.”

These drama queens should head up to Barrow, Alaska when the locals are carving up a whale.
Lol. Is that real?
I believe so.
One might remind these little snowflakes that the only reason they exist is because their fore fathers hunted and fished.
Someone needs to stand in front of Whole Foods with a sign that reads:
Wild life not Wild Rice - Kale feels pain - Sprouts want to live.

Liberals have frequent potential offspring which they define as cancerous growths.

Dragging kids to radical kids to political events is often called child abuse with varying degrees of humor implied but jokes aside, it really IS abuse to cut childhood short especially when the ‘cause’ is some maladjusted adult’s psychosis or neurosis.

Oh, is it true that Vegans don’t eat animal crackers???
I think some guy did that years ago. He tried to get the Inuit to become vegans. They just laughed and continued to carve up their whale.
Protesting in America gets you on camera and maybe even your own show. Protesting in China puts you in a work camp for years and years.
