Watchout Fisherman, They are going to outlaw you.

Antoine Goetschel went to court here (Switzerland)in defense of an unusual client: a 22-pound pike that had fought a fisherman for 10 minutes before surrendering. It had fought a fisherman for 10 minutes before surrendering.......

Mr. Goetschel, was reminiscent of a safari hunter with his foot perched on the head of a dead lion. "It is this Hemingway thinking," he says. "Why should this be legal when other animals have to be slaughtered in a humane way?"

The country's only public defender of animals, Mr. Goetschel is a vegetarian who has no pets and avoids taking medication because of his opposition to research on lab animals. He became interested in animal rights at the age of 23, when an accident left him unable to speak for 10 days, helping him understand the plight of animals who can't express themselves. He was a major advocate of a 2003 Swiss law under which animals are to be treated as sentient beings, not personal property.
