Live cats and Kittens have hooks passed through their snoots or through the tendons in their legs and the hooks are attached to lines and rods. While screaming and crying they are thrown into the water where their thrashing around attracts Shark,Blue Marlin, and Tarpon.

There are plenty of other types of bait to use and these people choose to use live cats and kittens who roam and won't be missed.

This is one of many heinous crimes done to innocent animals today.

Strong laws must be made and enforced to save our animals from these horrifying tortures.

CATS AND KITTENS USED AS FISH BAIT

Greetings,

Live cats and Kittens have hooks passed through their snoots or through the tendons in their legs and the hooks are attached to lines and rods. While screaming and crying they are thrown into the water where their thrashing around attracts Shark,Blue Marlin, and Tarpon.

There are plenty of other types of bait to use and these people choose to use live cats and kittens who roam and won't be missed.

This practice is not only world wide but is our own back yard and is one of many hannis crimes done to innocent animals today.

Strong laws must be made and enforced to save our animals from these horrifying tortures.

I truly believe this to be an important issue. Animals were not put on this earth to be tortured by us or for our entertainment. They have feelings just like we do.
If you teach this kind of heartless suffering killing to you children, where will it go from there.
