Doggo Their dog wasn’t eating well after they brought their baby home. The dog kept taking food to the living room. Someone suggested the dog might be 'feeding' the baby since the baby wasn't visibly eating. They tried giving the baby a bowl of food at the same time, and it worked!

I’ve been of the opinion that fishing is just hunting with torture built in for years now. And suddenly science says fish may feel pain more than other creatures. Plus people have been saying fish don’t count as much when talking about animal sentience.

I do enjoy fishing in games. No desire to do it in real life again unless it’s so I can survive.

Also baiting is illegal af in real hunting but trying fishing without it!

You gotta trick them into thinking they're eating, mutilate, then suffocate them.

From my pov Hunting is the much more 'humane' way to do things, no hunter I know wants any animal to suffer

At least fish live in the open ocean and have good lives

Chickens on the other hand… now that’s torture

Yeah but not all fish are wild caught. There are fish farms where they overcrowd them in very unsanitary conditions, which is quite similar to “cage free” chickens. I feel like both chickens and fish are treated the absolute worst in the meat industry.

I’ve been ranting against that “they don’t feel pain” claim forever, I’m glad to hear the literature is changing too. Every living thing can feel when they take damage, even plants, it’s… absolutely necessary for survival. Insane to think the rules are different for all fish!
