Question

Is it ok to eat fish because they don't have any feelings?

Answer 1

I'm not sure they have no feelings.  I went to a fish farm a few years ago and caught some trout.  I felt kind of bad, since it wasn't very sporting, just drop an empty hook into the pond and bam ... you've got a bite.  Anyway, there was no throwing back, and they cleaned the fish right there and they cut off the fish's head, and it appeared the fish felt it.

I'm not a vegan or some peta nut, but I do try and respect animals and do not like to see an animal suffer needlessly or for an extended period of time.

Answer 2

yes. Animals are not humans.  

Answer 3

Women have no feeling most of the time...  ;-)

Answer 4

I stopped eating plants and animals long ago. I sustain myself with photosynthesis. My arms, you see, they are  leaves, and my head, is but a flower. la lal al lalala la lal la lalal

Answer 6

No one who has not been a fish knows, for sure, that fish don't have feelings. They do, for sure, have awareness. What you do with these facts is up to you.

Answer 7

Also, carrot juice constitutes murder.

You either eat, or die. No matter what you eat, it involves killing something. Even plants have been demonstrated to have a reaction analogous to the pain response seen in animals. it is basically impossible to eat and be 100% cruelty-free. I don't even try.
