]]> Comment on Reason for Vegan Series 8: Fish Feel: Sentience, Emotion, and the Latest Science About Fish by Mary Finelli https://hopefortheanimalspodcast.org/reason-for-vegan-series-8-fish-feel-sentience-emotion-and-the-latest-science-about-fish/#comment-8 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 16:46:57 +0000 https://hopefortheanimalspodcast.org/?p=487#comment-8 Excellent commentary, Hope! Thank you very much for including fish issues in this series. It’s very appropriate since fishes comprise the greatest number of farmed animals, and they suffer some of the worst abuses. Also, many wild-caught fishes are used to feed farmed fishes and other farmed animals. Great overview of fish pain and fear, and what unique individuals fishes are.

Fishes are indeed sentient beings, and as deserving of respect and compassion as any other sentient beings. All the nutrients derived from fish (and from other animals) can be obtained from plant sources, and there are marvelous vegan versions of virtually every type of food imaginable, including vegan seafood: http://www.FishFeel.org/seafood

Thank you also for relating your personal experience with fishing. You can find others’ accounts on the Fish Feel website, and we invite listeners to share how they came to respect and appreciate fishes there, too: https://fishfeel.org/action/your-page/

We hope they will also visit our Facebook page, where we will share this podcast: https://www.facebook.com/pg/FishFeel.org/ Looking forward to your next one!

]]> Comment on Reason for Vegan Series 7: The Truth About Goat Dairy by Karen Sue Stanley https://hopefortheanimalspodcast.org/reason-for-vegan-series-7-the-truth-about-goat-dairy/#comment-6 Sun, 27 Sep 2020 21:59:25 +0000 https://hopefortheanimalspodcast.org/?p=461#comment-6 Thank you so very much for this excellent Podcast and all the information about why we do not need diary at all – whether from goats or cows – for our own health, but even more important is that all animals deserve to live their lives in freedom and peace. I vow to not participate or contribute in any way to animal use and abuse, including never consuming dairy again. It is also very unhealthy – contrary to what many people falsely beleive.
