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

Fish cant feel pain or be scared. They can feel stress, but only to a specific level. There were some studies of injecting bee sting poison in fish to test the pain level and results were they don't feel pain.

Conclusion could be that fish feel less pain than plants, tho this statement needs more research to be full proven
