Summary

In this article, Victoria Braithwaite talks about if fish feel pain. The book she wrote is described, and it has evidence of fish feeling pain. Strangely enough, she's not against sport fishing and only has advice for it. Also, fish farms were brought up and were said to possibly get very big by 2030. Overall, Victoria Braithwaite pretty much proved that fish feel pain.

Opinion

I thought this was an interesting article, because I had never thought about if fish felt pain or not. After reading this however, I am convinced they do. All the evidence supports the facts. I agree with Victoria Braithwaite that sport fishing is alright, but some of the practices should be changed slightly. Since reading this, I most likely won't go fishing because I'll feel bad about hurting the fish.
