I wonder what their reasoning was -- "spear fishing seems a bit foreign" or "speared fish are more dead than those netted or rod caught"? It doesn't make sense. Well, if we have to give up spear fishing there is always pigeon shooting and sedentary obesity as we slip quietly into a premature dotage. Better start booking up high carbon trips abroad (CIs, Med, USA, SA, Mozambique,Oz,NZ,Central/South American,...).
