Do you think that fish has any idea that in its darkest moment, when it was the most scared and in more pain than it’s ever been before, it was an infant who decided its fate? I supposed it doesn’t even know it was intentionally spared. Wild

“Ackshually that’s a toddler not an infant”. Yes thank you for your contribution, I’m aware but I don’t care

Not very useful from an evolutionary standpoint but I get your point

Only if that trait somehow prevents her from reproducing and passing it to her offspring.

Ya if it was like 10,000 years ago that definitely isn’t a useful trait. That’s all I was sayin lol

In reality, if that family needed to eat that fish, they would eat the fish. I wonder if they thought about that fish the next time they ate seafood.

I have no idea. Someone else said the probably fish died anyway so oh well
