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!
