Save Our Cats From Fishermen

We showed you some footage a little while back of cats being used as bait that was clearly fake. Well, someone has figured out a way to make some coin by spreading lies about fishermen and selling shirts. Now I’m not saying that people have never used cats as bait, maybe they have, but its certainly not a contributing factor to the decline of the feline population. And showing carefully edited videos, that not only fail to show a hook actually in a cat, or a fish actually eating a cat, is laughable.

It’s really unfortunate that people prey on the gullibility of others to make a quick dime. The site doesn’t try to hide anything, they even clearly state that they are a FOR profit organization. If anyone out there can actually show me footage of of a cat REALLY being use as bait, I’ll buy a shirt myself!

    I’ve witnessed a pike caught with a belly full of kittens many years ago, in the Napanee River…the guy that caught it obviously wasn’t using them but we figured someone threw them in to drown but they were eaten.

    Either way gross and I hope this is fake.

    It reminds me of the cat juggeling in the movie the Jerk.

    Cheers,

    Paul

    In the late 1800′s to early 1900′s, kittens were in fact used as bait for catfish on the Ohio River.

    I always thought they used mice for catfish, and cats for dogfish…

    just watched  the video of the cats being used as bait. i would like to say i lived most of my life in florida and have heard about people using cats as bait to caught sharks and other fish. also let me say this ( god help anybody i ever see doing that) , because i won’t be calling anyone. i’ll just have to see how well the fisherman swim with a hook in their back. and if you cant tell, yes i love dogs and cats. i also fish and hunt alot, but never use animals for bait. and if anybody doesnt like what ive said, i dont care.

    I just watched the video of the cats being used as bait. I think these people should be used as bait. I was really digused at this. I rescue cats and kittens and know people are really pigs when it comes to animals. God help them if I would ever see this happening

    Remembered what Bob Barker said! Have your pet spayed or neutered.

    These animals are used like this because they’re cheap and overly abundant.

    But in the grand scheme of things, its no different than crabbers using dead mink for crab bait. Or eating chickens, cows, pigs or rabbits.

    Using them as live bait is pretty damned morose though, I can’t condone that kind of suffering.
