Respect Your Prey

www.telegraph.co.uk...

A fisherman almost died after a Dover Sole he had caught jumped down his throat.

Paramedics used forceps to grab hold the fish's tail . . . They made five attempts to pull the fish free . . . barb and gills . . . were stuck in the angler's throat. They finally yanked it free on the sixth go but by that time the casualty had stopped breathing for three minutes.

Paramedic Matt Harrison said that when they questioned the man's friends they explained he had been joking around with the catch and put it over his mouth.

Respect your prey. If you don't it might kill you. Even if it's only six inches long.

I had a problem with a mouse once. I wasn't even hunting it, I was just clearing some space. I'll swear it had been trained by Bruce Lee, it was fearless, and it had some fancy moves.

Respect your prey. It gives its life that you and yours may eat.

We pulled plenty of green terrors out of a pricey catfish's mouth we once owned...... As funny and scary as it looked, I never imagined a human facing this predicament...... What..... The.......

You're darn right. Respect your prey.

There's a reason why some Native American tribes honored their prey by performing some sort of ritual after killing it.

Thats the fishes defense mechanism, stops another fish from swallowing it. The fish probably saw it was about to be eaten by a human and went all "Wolverine !!" .

Derp. First lesson learnt about those kind of fish, catfish have nasty spines too.

We have a Belgian Malinois that almost choked on a soccer ball.

We freaked out, we really thought he may choke to death...

That poor soccer ball never had a chance... he popped it just a few seconds, and spent the rest of the day ripping the remains to shreds...

That soccer ball received zero respect.

Countless toys have become his prey... none have survived... zero respect...
