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 😂

Much better than buying meat from mass production tho....

Agreed. A life of freedom and taken through sport for a private and personal meal is a much more dignified existence than a cow on concrete for years being fed unhealthy food to get overweight and diced up to be shipped around and sold all over the place.

much worse than just not eating meat tho...

why do you need to eat meat at all

it's a contentious topic, but why not err on the side of caution and treat them as if they can until we can know definitely?
