Technically a fishing license is a license to kill.. Only to a small percentage of the earth's population

  Wouldn’t a hunting license be closer to a license to kill? Some fishing licenses have catch are release for some fish.

    Catch and release is even more evil. You are just toying with the marine life at that point for one’s own enjoyment.

    True but that’s more common of a thought connection.

      I haven’t been to a state that didn’t have take or bag limits for fish. So it’s only a license to kill a certain number of certain types of fish.

  You don’t need a license to kill tomatoes. nom

    If they are somebody else’s tomatoes you need a thieving license.

      You get a thieving license can you steal from the license off to get your application fee back?

    I’m conflicted about this. Fruits and vegetables are sacrificial lambs created by the plants for the express purpose of getting eaten so that they can spread their seeds. In a way, they’re trojan horses of seeds.

  A medical license too (although some specialize in roles that have more / less of the killing)

  It also allows you to advise others on how to kill specific entities, or to sign off on tools used for intense killing (prescriptions)

    True, if you count virus and bacteria then doctors are probably mass murders.

      If you’re working in a mobility lab, you’ll regularly use an autoclave and ethanol to kill microbes. Occasionally, you’ll even need to dispose of old cultivations by autoclaving them. That could be something like 10^7 cfu/ml*1000 ml = 10^10 living cells brutally roasted to death.

      Viruses are debatably not alive and may not count (depending on what you define as alive).
