However, killing creatures never comes easy to me.
I personally only buy meat that comes from retired cattle that died in retirement homes, of natural causes...
I agree though... We all love fish and I don't eat any fish at all... except lionfish. Most fisheries in the world are highly threatened due to overfishing. Reducing a new predator will help to protect the rest of the beasts we lick. It sucks to be a lionfish... it's not like they had a choice about where they lived.
My one objection to having rank amateurs spear them is that, well, they're rank amateurs. On a recent trip I was on, some of the folks in my group were nailing a few and on occasion it wasn't pretty. If you're going to spear anything, learn how to do it well.
