Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article is to present contemporary fishing as a form of cultural archaism. Angling constitutes an act of cruelty to animals under the guise of sport, recreation, and relaxation. It involves catching, tormenting and killing fish, which, according to scientific knowledge, are sensitive, intelligent, conscious, and capable of suffering. The article provides an overview of fishing practices and offers an ethical assessment of them.
