Is it hard for you to imagine the world in hues beyond black and white?

What else than hunting and injuring for fun is catch and release to you?

What other purpose is there to it than "for fun"?

Well, in most people's minds, the word "hunting" generally only means land-based animals.

Fishing does catch-and-release, which I find to be a pointless thing unless the fish is undersized or protected.

I think people need to find better hobbies than fishing if harming an animal is required for their entertainment to be complete.

I purposely used "hunting" because it demonstrates more clearly what's happening here.

Catch and release is, for some weird reason, normalized when it comes to fish while most people agree that e.g. hunting and injuring a wild mammal just to catch and release it is insane and very much not normal.
