I understand when people speak about the ethical problems with eating meat, but I think they do not apply to fish.

    The idea that fish do not experience pain is also ludicrous… They possess a central nervous system and can very much feel pain.

    I’m also opposed to catch & release fishing for fun/sport for this reason.

    Imagine a hyper-advanced species suddenly and painfully yanked you up into different atmospheric conditions where you’re desperately unable to breathe.

    Is it perfectly acceptable just because they put you back down in your natural environment before you died, with a new painful wound and traumatic experience?

    I certainly don’t think so…

      Their bodies are also formed to exist supported by the water. When taken out their very bodies are crushing their organs. It’s grim.
