Researcher explores whether fish feel pain

You a lot of people walking around saying I don't eat fish because they deserve to live or because it hurts to kill etc. but do fish actually feel pain? the answer to that is Yes, fish can feel pain. Victoria Braithwaite has spent decades figuring this question out. Victoria did not answer this question for the satisfaction of knowing but because some fish-farmers believed that if you care about animal welfare then you should also care about fish-welfare. knowing now that fish can feel pain she be lives her book will influence people to be more humane when fishing. some examples are to kill fish faster and don't just keep them out of water for long periods of time.

This is a very interesting article. I was not expecting this. I have never before thought if fish could feel pain or not but after reading this article i makes me think" what else can feel feelings? the article was well written and easy to understand. I am actually going to try and look for this book online if i do get it i will bring it in to class. :)
