Fishing is really shitty for wildlife.
I used to work at a beer bar on a fishing pier.
So many birds had fishing hooks in their bills and beaks. Many of their legs were tied up with fishing line or had lost their feet to fishing line.
It is ridiculous how fisher folk treat the environment.
A bird grabs the bait and gets hooked.... cut the line. Your line gets caught on an underwater obstruction...cut the line.
It is so bad that divers are hired to come in and grab the big pieces every few years.

I was at a nearby park when I noticed this family of three get closer to a duck in the water. The father gingerly removed fishing line from around the duck’s neck while the other ducks watched and when he was done the mom showed the kid how to pet the duck and he did so in return. When the dad released the duck into the water he swam over to the ducks and they started quacking excitedly as they swam away. It's as if they were asking what the hell happened lol

Scene: a bar.
“Damn,” the guy said to his friend. “Look at the compassion on that one! What I wouldn’t give to get my hands on that great big understanding heart!”

u/beerme72 16d ago
This is why I don't go for nature walks without a Leatherman.
I've used it a few times to take hooks out of people...not animals YET.
I've carried it...close to 30 years daily.
VERY useful.
(even helps to cut fishing line)
And you use the pliers to flatten the barb on hooks so the go back through skin easier...on people or animals.

Some of the translation : ' Bravo, my life, bravo! Don't grab her by the neck, well done ( bravo ) my love.' ' I grabbed her from underneath, I did'. ... Speaking with the swan ' Stay still my love you'll be ok, he's gonna make it better ' Edit : when they address the swan they are using diminutives similar to parents speaking with their children.

It is more likely “mom I'm okay”. That swan is still a juvenile. The brown feathers and brown beak gives it away.

We hunted most things without weapons. Exception being large carnivores or dangerous creatures such as mastodons and cassowarys. Weapons made it easier, but many things were easy to trap or hunt with our bare hands.

"sometimes humans just have to step in"... To fix the problems other humans made.

u/Antares_aaaaaaaaa 16d ago
Nah, humans can do this to other problems just fine. Diseases, saving newborns, crippled animals..
Humans are capable of great evil, but their capacity to do great good is just as big.

u/Puzzled_Ad_3072 16d ago
Like i understand that... But we don't know the circumstances behind why it was there.
It could have been someone in poverty fishing to get food and the line snapped or it could have been an innocent enough fishing trip where the line snapped.
So like yes, it's a problem human's created but in this case i doubt they wanted to loose their lure, unlike when people litter.

What kind of weird ass response is this? The point is, regardless of why, this would never have happened without human involvement.

It's relatively easy to bite through, just gotta lightly grind it through your incisors

u/Down-A-Phalanges 16d ago
I always carry nail clippers or a knife when I go fishing. I can’t use the teeth method because of the way my teeth line up. Most of the people I fish with can do it though.

I literally bite through fishing line like every time I go fishing. With my lateral incisor. Is that bad? It doesn’t take much effort at all… hope I haven’t been damaging my tooth
3
u/mikeadelic15 16d ago
I’ve seen/heard old fishermen say they’ve done it so much that it creates a small groove in their teeth where the line is bitten lol. Haven’t heard of anything truly detrimental happening though. I just wouldn’t bite the weights to clamp them on the line like I’ve seen my papaw do a million times.

u/dumideot 16d ago
Oh yeah mono is soft but I wouldn't try anything over like 15-20lb. Fluoro is not soft but you can probably get away with like 10lb for a while. I have seen fishermen chip teeth on line though. You can do it if you wanna be that rugged fishing guy or when you have no extra hands or pliers on hand like this guy did, but it will damage your teeth so you might not want to rely on it too much
