The PETA article agrees that fish don't have a neocortex, how humans and mammals consciously feel pain.
The PETA article's main point is that although fish don't feel pain like humans can, they display behavioural actions that makes them think they do. This study casts doubt on their behavioural reactions being a result of conscious pain but instead an unconscious impulse.
Ultimately it can't be concluded that they don't feel pain, but you can conclude that they don't feel pain the same way humans do. |
This Hugh 'JareS guy is about as out to lunch as they come. Fish feel pain, poke em they don't stick around (there are lots of research papers highlighting pain receptors in their brains upon pain stimulation), just because their neurotransmitters fire on different chemical pathways doesn't mean you're not a sadistic turkey. Making any animal fight for it's life by ripping it by the face from its home for no point but your own pleasure is pretty cut and clear logically. Any argument you have otherwise really speaks volumes to your own skewed bias-sis. Perhaps you should focus on bringing whirling disease to some other water sheds, instead of bombarding people who actually have the audacity to respect the animals they harvest.
Lots of people survive car accidents with little to no injury but that doesn't mean people go looking for car accidents... C&R is cruel and so is fishing in general but just doing it to harass the wide-life for your own pleasure I cannot understand...
