One might remind that most of the fish have lived their lives murdering millions of smaller fishes. No fish has ever died comfortably of old age in retirement home. They will all eventually die very painfully when eaten alive. Fisherman's mallet is surely the easiest way out this existential nightmare.
I have seen lots of seals dying of old age. They just float there in shallow water and every breath seems to be a coughing agony. One wish there was some shark the end this misery, but bloody humans have killed all sharks on the northern Atlantic.
fish have brains. i'd assume that means they also have nerves connected to that????? who assumed in the first place they can't feel pain? Such a silly thing.. :s assumptions piled on top of further assumptions made by comparing 2 completely different things. people hardly understand how human brains function (example: people with brain damage can have parts of their brain take over from damaged parts. showing that it's not as fixed as we'd like to beleive, what parts do what. they can say some things about processing speed and general function only...) so how the hell could one then use that vague understanding to draw conclusions on something completely different?
gotta love science!
(note: yes, agree with the article, please revisit more of these assumptions - and be aware that a lot of this 'common sense' nonsense is just that. nonsense that people assumed a long time ago and pass on generation to generation. -> on our way to idiocracy <3)
