"It's hard for us to attribute anykind of emotion or inner thought to them"

Dude, humans have trouble doing that to other humans.

Have you met us?

Scientists: we should treat fish more humanely!
Also Scientists: *injects fish with acid*

This is why I only fish for food and I also make sure to dispatch as humanly as possible. Even if you are not religious you should thank them for the sacrifice as well.

As someone who loves eating fish I must admit this makes me feel bad.

Thats why Aquatic Ape stabs the fish in the head after spearing it

"fish are friends, not food." - that wonderful shark from Finding Nemo

Buddha taught that all beings are sentient beings, capable of feeling the same happiness and sufferings.

I had a few fish tanks over the years and I’ve also had pet birds. I’ve found them both to be very similar. The fish would become more active when they saw me come home and the birds would do the same thing. They definitely feel pain, that’s why the flee from danger, they don’t want to get injured or killed.

I thought every living thing felt pain

[ValliW]

What a stupid question, anything with a functioning nervous system can feel pain.

[lolbro]

we need a sloution that can kill fish without immense suffering, i knew fish felt pain but most people dont truly realise because fish dont scream out in pain like other animals do, it sucks how close minded humans are

[collapse]

I was just trying to find a video telling me how to cure my fish and then I found this

[wakeacei]

As someone that loves fishing I can’t bring my self to let them die by asphyxiation I always kill them with the melon thumper

[reinhardt]

I relate to fish.
If you are a stoic individual, people instantly assume you have no feelings and ignore you.
I deeply feel sorry for those fishies...

[charki]

Thank you for this. Imagine also the cruelty and pain suffered by sharks whose fins are cut off (for fin soup) and then they are thrown back into the ocean to die. It would be like having your legs or arms cut off and thrown into the ocean to die. Humans need to understand we are not the only creatures in the world who share the desire to live and have feelings including that of pain and fear.

I feel like no one ever thinks that fish's lives are important. They always think that "oh yeah! i killed one fish yeah it doesn't matter." but it does because their life is so important to them. Humans kill thousands or even millions of animals each day and it's not a big deal. But when just one human dies it's as important as an animal going extinct. I always feel bad for animals even if it's just a tiny ant.

[zoroux]

I need to show my grandpa this. He never kills the fish before cleaning them, he always just guts them alive. Ive always hated it but hes told me many times they dont really feel it.

[タカシ-ul]

When I was 2 years old, I watched the movie NEMO and there was a part there where nemo's father and dory met the sharks, and said that "fish are friends not food." Because of that phrase, I stop eating fish or any seafoods, until now I dont still eat them because I think they are friends (but I tried to eat fish dish once and it doesn't taste good, feel like i will puke). Also, when I go to fish markets, whenever the seller chop the fish, makes me feel uncomfortable, pity, and sad.

[onedown]

Just like any other animals would feel pain, so can fish

[mukulmehra]

As a vegetarian person I feel proud that I didn't kill any animal for food...
