Is fishing considered hunting?

I think it really depends. Yeah, I understand that one is killing the animal for food, but there is more abundance.
Unless you are fishing endangered fish or fish who's numbers have declined over time, it is not really a big issue.

I go fishing for sport myself,but we always let them go away unharmed.
===============================================
Fishing for sport is okay as LONG AS YOU LET THEM GO.

Fishing for survival is okay,you have to eat to live.

Killing or eating for sport is wrong.
================================================
Fishing is considered hunting.And yes fish are a part of the meat group.

These should answer your questions.

fishing hurts the fish. what would you do if someone pushed a needle through your upper lip? i think that is torture for them too. firstly they have a hole on their upper mouth second of all they are beaten to death after they are taken out of the water and third of all they are killed. in my view it is.

If your fishing for the meat than yes and If your fishing for endangered Fish than double yes! If your just fishing for the fun of the sport and letting them go after than No. So It all depends...

I think so. IT is still catching animals for food, just in a different way. Obviously fish is meat.

Gosh. I don't know. Catch and release is totally fine. If your fishing for food, and there is enough fish, totally not. If your fishing for survival, nope. If your fishing for fun, and then killing them, absolutely not.

yes it is hunting
most people consider it different from meat but i say it is. thats why i never eat it

yes it is and even if its for survival its not right to kill or take life from another.

I dont care what anybody say's, yes it is!!!!
Its just like fox hunting in many ways, people are deliberatly going out with the intention to lure an animal to its death!
Ripping it from its natural inviroment and then killing it all for the sake of human purposes, wether it be pleasure or food, its still wrong!!

ummm not really. i really love to eat fish and seafood

i go fishing but we dont really keep them so not really.

Yes to both of them.

i fish a lot, but i always let the fish go. ITs jsut a fun sport if you let the fish go. When you dont and eat the fish then i think that is considered hunting. I only did that once and it was there was a high population of this one fish and it was wiping out all the others. so I hunted fish for a good cause. Other than that i think fishing is just a fun sport if you know what to do.

people who fish for fish probably don't think fishing for fish is hunting. i think it is. and yes, fish is meat.

Fishing is hunting, but hunting is necessary for survival in the natural world. Well, at least it used to be. At least when you hunt for food, you play the predator and the prey has a chance to escape, like the case with a lion and a gazelle. But locking animals like pigs, cows, chickens etc in a slaughter house and giving them no chance to escape while they are killed for food? That is pure murder. So is fishing/hunting for sport.

Though...I'm the kind of person who has to eat meat or my body might fail on me so it's sad that I still eat all that. I stay away from endangered meat though. I don't need to eat exotic stuff, I just need the meat. 0_0

fishing depends on what you are doing if you are there to catch and cook or catch and kill then yes because you are killing a animal, but catch and return is not because you are NOT killing the animal there for it depends on what you are there to do.
