    One viable alternative is to use nothing and let the fish live their lives.

        And then Jesus gave them fish to eat, taught men to lead other men to water and teach them to fish and feed them forever, on fish.

          Yes, this is what’s commonly known as a “joke” where Jesus is a stand-in for muix and the audience is the downvoters, and it is an exaggeration made for comedic effect. I’m not basing my actual morality on the God of the Bible – the same entity as Jesus if you’re unitarian or essentially the same entity with some mental gymnastics thrown in if you’re trinitarian – who had a temper tantrum and flooded the entire Earth to wipe all but one human family and two of every species of animal from the face of the planet.

          Fishing is catastrophic for the environment, and it results in the needless deaths of literal trillions of fish every year.
