Prawn Fishing; the cruelty of it

The other day, we joined Daddy Tiong’s colleague for Prawn Fishing.

It was a new experience for us, but once the novelty of it wears off, Mummy Eliz felt that it was actually a pretty cruel sport.

Mummy Eliz enjoyed the occasional prawns, for its unique flavor and texture, but baiting them one by one is not something she enjoy.

Once caught, the two front pincers would then have to be broken off to prevent it from biting, while the prawn is alive and fiercely kicking.

In additional, the eye witnessing of hooking the sharp hock into the head of a baby catfish, and then out the tail, for usage as bait, made it all too much too bear.

Mummy Eliz had to then take a break.

PS:

Mummy Eliz certainly have nothing against those who enjoys it as a sport. Maybe she is just being too soft-hearted.
