Default Re: Do Fish Feel Pain? Who Cares?

BTW, to settle the fish debate/pain debate, the answer is we simply don't know.
1) Fish have pain receptors

2)They lack the parts of the brain that processes pain in humans.

3) The neurology of fish is completely different than humans, so #2 may not even matter.

In the end the scientific community is split and we really don't know. To make a claim one way or another is asinine IMO.
