Fish

When buying fish at the store or eating at a seafood restaurant most people don’t give much thought to where the food they’re eating came from beyond “the ocean.” Even less consideration is put into how the fish was caught or if the practice is sustainable. Today’s mentality is all about instant gratification regardless of future consequences, whether it be health or environmental risk. Many people may think the Ocean is an inexhaustible source of food because it covers over 70% of the Earths…

Victoria Braithwaite states that “fish suffer.” I have a pet fish of my own who swims contently in its own little bowl. I never harmed the little fish because I believe that all living organisms feel pain. It is true that fish do not holler out when pricked like dogs and cats; however, they do make an attempt to avoid danger by escaping it. When a boy runs through a pond, the fish in that pond bolt away from that boy to avoid danger. Therefore, it is evidential that fish do have a sense of…

the kelp ecosystem. It has fish and kelp and some sharks. The fish gets food from the kelp. It also uses the kelp to hide in. It also chased off some smaller fish from it’s own territory.

Also, the different types of lures, line, rods, and gear hope you enjoy. The majority of anglers start in freshwater because fishing in salt water is much more expensive. When you’re first starting out all you truly need is a hook, line, fishing pole, and tackle. There are many different ways to freshwater fish you can fish in a stream, on a…

Braithwaite claims that fish feel pain. I absolutely agree with Braithwaite. Some people might think of fish as dumb animals,because they don't show much emotion when a hook is in their mouth or a spear is thru their heads. But this doesn't mean that fish cannot feel pain. I have gone fishing very many times and know the empty looking face that most fish make after you reel them in, and the flapping gasping for water look while lying on the deck. However Even though fish may not seem to express…
