A diver has died after an attack by a suspected 4.5-meter shark near Michaelmas Island. It is the third fatal shark attack in Australia in three weeks.

The diver was spearfishing. Also, an Australian source, rather than a German one.

Spearfishing seems like stacking one risk on top of another.
He fuckin deserved it
Spear fishing, or any traditional fishing method, forr food, is about as ethical as it gets. It’s a pretty even field. You’re out of your element, and using muscle power, while exerting yourself, while running out of oxigen.
Trawling and other intensive methods are not.
Bow hunting large animals, especially boar, which can be dangerous as all fuck, is also fine by me. Shooting small game with fucking 12 gauge, is not.
Fine by you does not mean fine by the animal. It’s not “about as ethical as it gets”. That’s completely delusional. Exercising and holding your breath does not factor into the ethics of needless killing.
Killing plants is unethical.
sure sweetie
What? They’re alive. It’s been shown they communicate. They’re a LOT more sophisticated than people think.
I’m sure this is a belief you seriously hold with great conviction. It just happens to only come up when you’re confronted with the cruelty of killing and eating sentient animals
Just like you won’t, in any way whatsoever, entertain the idea that eating plants is unethical. Your convictions on the matter are so strong that you simply won’t consider that they, too, are living beings.
How does a method being traditional make it more ethical? Aren’t more ethical methods of hunting about minimising agony of an animal when killed using all available technology? So a firearm shot would be more ethical than slow-to-kill arrow?
I consider your argument the more ethical one. If an animal is going to die, isn’t the most humane method the most ethical? However, I also see the other side, which is giving the animal the chance to kill the human first. It’s kinda twisted logic. If you’re going that route then the most humane method would be not kill them at all.
