The last "meat" I gave up before becoming completely vegan was fish. In my wildest imagination I did not believe that fish had a conscious, were intelligent and could feel emotions. In other words, were sentient beings. Looking back I am not sure what I thought since they obviously are not plants so what else could they be.
Here are some wonderful quotes by renowned scientists that I recently found that would have cleared up any doubts I had.
The oceanographer Sylvia Earle says, “I wouldn’t deliberately eat a grouper any more than I’d eat a cocker spaniel.” Fish, she explains, “are sensitive, they have personalities; they hurt when they’re wounded.”
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, a prestigious peer reviewed journal, a team of animal scientists surveyed the evidence up to 2004 and declared, “This review of the anatomy, physiology, and behaviour of fish suggests that they are more likely to be sentient than not.”
Am curious as to what other people think/thought about fish.
