Ry Chaz<p>"...each fish can experience up to 22 minutes of intense pain..."</p><p>Do you assume agony isn't significant just because YOU aren't the one feeling it? <br>That's societal psychopathic indifference and it perpetuates cruelty for profit and habit. </p><p>Animals are not about quotas, stock, flavour or profit. That is the vocabulary of an entrenched war machine against animals living their natural lives. </p><p>If you link fishing to relaxation or sport, how will you feel when you realise the misery you caused?</p><p>We can thrive AND not ever inflict harm on animals. <br>Think. Observe. Empathise. <br>Enjoy exploring the alternatives, being the difference.</p><p>In many instances it isn't the animal flesh you are addicted to. It is the preparation/social ritual or the flavours you enjoy with it. <br>So move the flavours and rituals to non-harming alternatives.</p><p><a href="https://www.sciencealert.com/fish-suffer-up-to-22-minutes-of-intense-pain-when-taken-out-of-water" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sciencealert.com/fish-suffer-u</span><span class="invisible">p-to-22-minutes-of-intense-pain-when-taken-out-of-water</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Fish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fish</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Fishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/meat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meat</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/recipes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>recipes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/harm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>harm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/socialpsychopathy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>socialpsychopathy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/animals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>animals</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/habit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>habit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/ritual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ritual</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/mindlessharm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mindlessharm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/dobetter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dobetter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/bethedifference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bethedifference</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a></p>
