[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Hi there Cheechat and welcome to the BFT. I firmly believe the age of four is not only too young to teach a child how to kill a fish but even to watch the ordeal. They really can't comprehend what it is all about. If you lived back in the 1800s when survival was code of the day then one had to teach their children how to put food on the table. I recall an incident with a relative's child where they caught a mouse in a trap. The child about 3 or 4 at the time thought that they had killed Mickey. It took some time for him to get over that scene. Let him grow up a bit. I would string your catch as in this manner he doesn't see the dying process. Think about why most people don't take their young children to a funeral. [/size][/green][/font]
