the story below reminded me...
I was in Namibia on a commercial rafting trip down the orange river. We came to a village where we stopped to look at a few bits and pieces. Anyway, some of the group were checking out some lovely small birds when a local caught one in a net. He gently took it in his hands and showed it to the watching tourists. They assumed it was for their pleasure, and were very appreciative.
The smiles disappeared when he wrapped line around the birds leg and picked up the fishing rod that no-one had noticed.

The bird was being used as bait for the local 6ft catfish...

Nobody got back in the water that day.
