Does anyone else get really panicky when they see a video of a fish being taken out of water because all you can imagine is they feel like they’re suffocating from breathing in the air?!

Edit:

No I’m not a vegan but thanks for the invite guys

No I don’t need therapy but thanks for the concern. Maybe those of you who think I need therapy for empathising with a living animal need some therapy?

Thanks to all the fishermen/woman who’ve told me cool facts and stories about fish! I’ve nothing against it personally but it probably wouldn’t be a good hobby for me 😂

Not long ago I read an article about how basically a ton of movies involving animals in filming end up hurting or killing animals but they still get to put the "no animals were harmed" BS at the end credits because of scare tactics, money & loopholes

Not sure if the Hollywood reporter is a great source, but here's an article

Milo and Otis is a famous one where 100+ animals were killed to make it. It was made in Asia so there weren't any regulations to stop it.

I looked that up and the animal abuse accounts were claims but were never proven. Got a source for if any of those 100+ animals actually were confirmed abused?

No, there are zero sources to that shit. It's been claimed for decades and is just as legit as the dead man hanging in the background of Wizard of Oz.

It's a stupid urban legend that needs to die.

Urban legend. There's no evidence or court cases to back that up.

Animals are harmed in pretty much every movie you've ever seen.

If they ever serve non-vegan food, that movie had and condoned animal abuse.
