Gavin in Va Beach Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Intelligent, no. But do they feel pain? Probably. Of course, you can't know for sure, but it's not too much of a leap to assume that fish do feel pain. I mean, they do have nerve endings much the same that we do. Are you more comfortable in saying that fish do NOT feel pain? How would YOU know that? And on which side would you rather err? This comes from a non-meat-eater who happens to think that PETA is, overall, pretty full of stevestojan. (But I do find it funny when they throw red paint at models). 194666[/snapback] Being at the top of the food chain means never having to say you're sorry...

/dev/null Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I'm surprised Carter was out fishing at all, seeing how he should still have traumatic memories of the time a killer rabbit almost killed him while fishing... "What, behind the rabbit?" "It issss the rabbit!" 194669[/snapback] Well, that's no ordinary rabbit. That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on. That rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide, it's a killer! He's got huge, sharp. he can leap about. look at the bones! I warned you! But did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cugalabanza Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I think my point is, I don't CARE if fish feel pain. First off, their brains are all of a cm in size. . . second, sucks to be them near the bottom of our food chain. When they can figure out how to get on a boat, pop open a 12-pack, throw a medium-rare prime rib in front of me attached to a huge hook and wrangle me in, filet me and eat me, then they win... Until then, we win. 194679[/snapback] I can't help it. I care about stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with them going after people who treat animals with immeasurable cruelty but they can have a big glass of STFU when they're trying to turn everyone into a fuggin grazing animal.
