I don't think I compared fishing laws to slavery. Maybe stating that I did was intended to be some sort of rhetorical tool? I was merely giving an example of a situation where the law and morality butted heads. There are many others if you'd like to pick another.
It's easy to make an argument that it is not morally wrong to eat a dead fish instead of turning it into litter. Government wrote a law that doesn't make sense in order to make it easier for them to fine people, which they don't really enforce anyway. Play along if you like.
Religion and morality aren't related any more than legality and morality are.
When we come across a law that doesn't make sense, or we feel isn't right, everyone needs to make up their own mind about what to do. I don't think we should blindly do as we're told. That goes against everything the framers wanted for us.
