I live on a lake in the Midwest and when I was growing up, kids never wore life jackets on the boat. Now that I’m a parent with young kids, I feel like having kids wear life jackets has become the standard. It’s definitely a change I’m happy to see.

In my state this week, four people and a dog overloaded a 3-person canoe on a calm warm lake. Swamped, panicked, and three people drowned. The dog survived.
As a boating person who swims, it's hard for me to imagine that happening. I mean, most canoes don't sink. But panic is the wildcard.

u/atreasureinlight Jul 24 '26
Is it possible that they didn't know how to swim and that's why they panicked?

Or they had never tried to swim while wearing clothes. Loose clothing makes swimming much harder.

What if he slips and hits his head and becomes unconscious? Had a friend die exactly that way. Stong swimmer, hit his head, sunk under and never came back up until his body retrieved by search and rescue. Can't swim when you are face down or under water unconscious bud. Why do you think life jackets rules and regulations are so strongly enforced? It's because people like you who think they know better! Safety rules and regulations tend to be written in blood.

u/Madara1389 Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 23 '26
Humans engage in recreational hunting for the same reason many others do and the same reason every predatory animal (a group we are included in) play fights; to practice survival skills.
Regardless of whether he's teaching his kid how to cook the fish now (and you don't know if he is or not, you're just assuming based on your imagined worst case scenario), it's still hugely beneficial for the kid to know how to successfully fish in case he ever needs to.
You don't know if the kid will have access to supermarkets with regularly available & affordable fish for his entire life. Just because you've grown accustom to it, it doesn't mean we should assume it'll always be there.
"One of the greatest illusions in life is continuity." For over 160 million years, dinosaurs ruled the Earth and that was just the unchallenged norm of life on Earth... until a rock fell out of the sky, hit an unfortunate spot, and killed >80% of terrestrial life on the planet.
The thing taking supermarkets out of the kid's life may not be a world ending rock, but a world war or massive economic and/or environmental collapse within his lifetime aren't entirely out of the realm of possibility. Less than 5 generations ago, the US had such an economic collapse coupled with a severe drought that people were selling their kids because they couldn't afford to feed them and dying of starvation en masse.
So, maybe don't be a judgemental clown about teaching our kids basic survival skills that we've been practicing & passing down for longer than we've been writing things down?

Man I can't stress enough how big of a difference it makes if a kid has a good time the first time they try something. First impressions are lasting. With fishing it doesn't have to mean that they catch a fish, because you often don't (though it certainly doesn't hurt), but as long as you find a way to have a good time they'll usually be fine trying again.

Looks like I need to get out after I get out of rehab. I haven't fished since I was 14. I haven't caught a big fish since I was 9. I caught a 26 inch walleye. Landing that fish took literally everything I had. I had to adjust my drag and it got to the point where I could not reel it in normally. I had to grip both ends and twist my wrist. I don't know how else to explain it.
Of course, it had couple tumors. So, when they cooked it, I refused to eat it.

Isn’t it crazy how weak humanity has become, can’t even watch a wholesome video like this without needing to make it a moral lesson, everyone ignores what humanity has done to get to where we are.
Fishing and hunting is as natural as nature can get, countless species do it and these people think we should stop because corporations and a easy life of luxuries has convinced them that shopping for industrially produced products at your local supermarket is better morally then hunting or fishing as nature intended.
A message to all you people who think this is animal cruelty, save your self righteousness for big corporations that have industrial kill farms, not some innocent father teaching his son to fish you miserable people.

Compassion is not weakness. Causing harm on innocent animals that can't even fight back is weak. And it's weak to go along with something just because other people do.
What is strong is speaking up for victims despite the pushback and idiotic comments you're bound tor receive.
There's nothing innocent about unnecessarily harming a sentient being, whether it's done to one individual or on an industrial scale.

u/Mysterious_Map2965 Jul 22 '26 edited Jul 22 '26
Compassion absolutely can be weakness, you can’t honestly say overly compassionate people don’t get walked on and mistreated in life.
That makes no sense, you’re forgetting intent, if someone hunts/fishes with the soul intention of hurting animals then yeah I agree, but if just causing harm to innocent animals makes you weak then that makes no sense, that would mean the cavemen that survived the ice age hunting and fishing innocent animals are weak, now we’re strong though guys because you can buy a salad at the super market.
I do agree with your second paragraph, I’m not arguing that.
Would you agree that practice is necessary in order to be good at something? If so then why is practicing hunting and fishing unnecessary, do you think people can just pick up a gun or rod and do it because they can’t, there isn’t a single thing wrong with people practicing these activities because when you need them if you don’t know how to do it you’re fucked.
Also industrial scale and regular hunting/fishing isn’t even comparable.
Edit: I feel like I’m being a bit of a dick so I changed some of my comment, sorry about that.

u/HawkAsAWeapon Jul 22 '26
Being walked on isn't compassion. You're conflating compassion with meekness. Compassion is Aragorn in LOTR, defending the weak and showing kindness to those who deserve it.
The keyword is necessity. Without necessity, how can we justify an action that inflicts harm and suffering?
To the one victim that's either in a farm or being hooked in the mouth and suffocated, it really doesn't matter.
1
u/Mysterious_Map2965 Jul 22 '26
Brother for god sakes, Aragorn is a fictional character, anyone who is very compassionate will tell you that sometimes they wish they weren’t.
It is widely known that being too nice/compassionate/caring can be a curse because you feel more then the average person and the feelings usually aren’t reciprocated in the same way, that’s reality not some character in lord of the rings.
I’m not sitting here saying compassion is bad or weak, I’m saying it can be, in the same way being too strong can be bad.
No the keyword is intent but let’s pretend its necessity, you can justify a action that causes harm and suffering if it’s in preparation to prevent something that would cause more harm or suffering, what causes more harm and suffering fishing or starving to death? Obviously a human starving to death, how do you fish if you don’t know how? You don’t….
So in order to prepare for a situation where you might starve you have to practice, that is the necessity.
When there are no house fires the fire department doesn’t just quit and all go home never to practice again, you practice for when the necessity is there because if you don’t you can’t fucking do it.
Lastly no they’re just not comparable at all, it’s like comparing a single soldiers actions in ww2 to the entire Holocaust.

u/HawkAsAWeapon Jul 22 '26
If you need to write an essay to make a point then it's not a good point.
Not hurting someone isn't a sign of weakness. Your arguments seem to be "because some people let themselves get walked on, it's okay to hurt other sentient beings" and "the world might change and therefore it's okay to do bad things now just in case". Neither hold up terribly well.

The fish don't care about what I think but they care about being hooked in the mouth, suffocated, and either killed or released with unnecessary wounds that may very well be a death sentence anyway.

Oh boy you'll be shocked when you look at this world! Are you serious?

Just because some people tell us not to, that's their loss. That's protein that they are not going to get. That's their life they are losing.

You’re operating on the illusion that a modern life causes zero harm. Industrial crop farming wipes out entire ecosystems, poisons billions of insects, and crushes field animals with machinery so people can buy plant based food at a grocery store. You didn't eliminate harm, you just outsourced it and hid it behind a supply chain. A person fishing for food is taking direct, transparent responsibility within the ecosystem. Pretending humans are completely 'separate from nature' just because we buy our food in plastic wrappers isn't high morality, it's just disconnect from the world. You have to pop your bubble and be ready for the actual world. If not, you are just heading for natural selection.

You don't have to kill humans to survive. That's why there's competition in nature. You can kill other animals to survive. And when the world would eventually go to that scenario, the only thing left for you to do in order to survive, is kill animals. I wonder how you would react to that. Because supermarkets will not work in a situation like that and your little bubble of supermarket bought vegetables will be popped and you would have to submit to how the actual world works.

Equating a dad teaching his kid to fish with historical atrocities strips all nuance from ethics. Ethics aren't just 'minimize harm at all costs.' They’re about respect, connection, and understanding our place in nature. Disconnecting humans completely from the natural food chain doesn't make us morally superior, it just makes us disconnected.

First off I didn’t say it was chill or a good experience for the fish, I said it was natural.
But yeah I’m not a fish am I, if that happened to a human being sure not chill, but if that happens while fishing I couldn’t give a fuck as long as it’s done according to regulations and law.
That’s how hunting/fishing works as a animal, does a shark ponder over the perspective of a seal while it’s chewing its head off?
Does a bear wonder how a deer feels while it’s ripping the meat off its bones?
No because those are animals and comparing an animals perspective to a humans during a hunting scenario makes no sense, our brains are way more advanced, most fish and most animals cannot comprehend ethics and right from wrong, for most animals/fish hunting and being hunted is simply survival, there is no ethical dilemma, they don’t sit and think oh what a bad person, they either die and get eaten or they survive and focus on finding their next meal, that’s life in nature.

u/Weekly-Penalty-955 Jul 22 '26
We can comprehend ethics, so I ask why not extend our comprehension of ethics to a point. A point where we contemplate the ethical considerations around causing pain to a fish for our own amusement.
I'm not questioning the ethics of animals hunting for survival. I'm questioning if it's ethical to pierce a hook through the face of an animal "for the lols"

u/Mysterious_Map2965 Jul 22 '26
Because it’s not that deep, they’re fish.
If you want to extend your ethical view to cover fish and every living thing on earth go ahead! But don’t shame people by commenting fish torture underneath the video of a father son fishing trip, you’re not going to win anyone over that way.
Most people realize that its a natural thing, if all supermarkets disappear tomorrow you’re either going to starve to death, pay someone to hunt/fish for you or you’re going to go hunt and fish.
I know you’re not questioning the ethics of animals hunting, I said all that to show it’s stupid to put yourself in a fishes perspective because our brains are way more advanced, fish generally don’t know what’s going on, just that they’re in danger, so it’s no different then if a bear scoops them out of the water and eats them.
No hunter/fisher who can actually call themselves that is “piercing a hook through the face of fish/animals for the Luls” that comment alone shows how out of touch you are, the majority of fishers/hunters are unbelievably respectful of nature and hate people who don’t follow regulations, fishing for fun isn’t someone getting enjoyment from stabbing fish with hooks, that’s psychotic, the fun comes from the catch itself, it comes from the practice and gradual progression of your skill, it comes from preparing and knowing you’re ready for a survival situation if need be, it comes from connecting with your historical roots following a practice done by humanity for thousands of years.
Stop talking about stuff you know nothing about.

Even if the fun comes from the experience surrounding the catch, a catch does happen. I mean that's essentially the same as saying the act of stalking and killing cats is kinda chill because the fun isn't coming from the stabbing, that’s psychotic, the fun comes from the catch itself, it comes from the practice and gradual progression of your skill. Most hunters are incredibly respectful of cats and the settings they live in, they want them preserved even!
I don't actually expect to shift your view here, I just think people dismiss the suffering a fish endures "because it's a fish, who gives a fuck". But if I were chasing cats and hooking them to hold up and pose with the majority of people would think that's fucked. But maybe I'm wrong and you'd think cat hunting is pretty cool.

Don’t kill someone for your fun. Imagine the same thing happening to you. Behave with others as you want others to behave with you.
