This one always disturbs me. Can fish really feel pain? Even when they are hooked, they still appear strong. I have seen different people argue this online and I was thinking about it quietly. What do you think? Can fish feel pain?
 
My thoughts are this, I think all animals can feel pain. If an animal is to be eaten, I hope their death is quick and clean so they don't suffer.
 
I think that all animals have a strong survival instinct; snakes, mice, even cockroaches & maybe bugs in general.
Really hard to think that these schools of fish being swallowed by whales, penguins, otters & sharks .... each & every one of those fish feel the pain of death.
I think too hard for me to know.
