Adventure went horror

Dear Queenie,
Three Sundays ago I went with my boyfriend deep sea fishing. Nice adventure, we thought, not really knowing what to expect.
They caught a Blue Marlin (3.2-meter). So horrible. That fish was fighting for his life for 40 minutes on the hook. They didn’t want to cut the line. It was like killing a human. Going in their territories and killing them just to sell the huge fish for $1,900 to a S' Bay restaurant. They should go jail for this.
Queenie, is there a way to stop these cruel killings?—Adventure went horror

Dear Horrified,
I understand your feelings, but really, I have to ask you: What did you expect? The whole purpose of such an excursion is to catch a fish. Did you think that if they caught a fish the fish would give up without a fight? That if they caught a fish and it resisted the fishermen would just let it go?
The only way to stop this kind of event is for everyone to stop going on such excursions, stop eating fish at restaurants and stop buying fish-meat in supermarkets – and you know as well as I do, that is not going to happen.
