I was fishing a little upriver from the steam plant on sunday and someone had tied limblines on just about every over hanging limb for a couple hundred yard stretch of bank. Generally i'm not bothered by that, but, a little further down there was a Blue Heron with one of the hooks in its mouth and the line wrapped around a wing. The line had been cut from the tree and whoever it was just let the bird go like that! Every time i would get close it would walk back up into the woods.
If your gonna take the time to cut the bird loose, wouldn't you try and free the line from the bird so it could survive? Most normal people would!
