I’m having a hard time sorting out my thoughts tonight. If only I could write what I want when I have it in my head. I’ve done a lot of thinking abut fish lately. Someone recently asked if I eat fish, to which I replied some what sarcastically, “is fish a vegetable?” They continued to ask me why I didn’t eat fish to which I responded “how would you like to have a hook in your mouth?” They of course said fish don’t feel pain. More intriguing though is that someone else made a comment about comparing myself to a fish, implying how ridiculous that was. Upon pondering this for a few days I’ve come to the conclusion people are so hypocritical they don’t even realize the things they say. For instance ‘meat eaters’ will argue that animals aren’t like humans, they don’t think, feel, etc. Why then do these very same people support things such as animal testing? If we’re so different wouldn’t comparing tests done to nonhuman animals and human animals have nothing to do with one another? And what about insulting one another by calling someone a ‘pig’ or fat ‘cow’? It just doesn’t make sense how we can be similar enough (according to Omni’s) for one purposes but not another. Either we are similar or we are not. (I’m kind of talking out of my ass right now so this may not make sense, just ignore my little rant) as far as fish feeling I’ve seen studies that show fish DO have a central nervous system and DO have nerve endings around their mouths. Whether this is a proven fact or not why take the chance of making a living thing suffer unnecessarily? Ok, it’s been a long day, and I’m not even making much sense to myself so I’m sure whoever’s reading this doesn’t know what the hell I’m going on about… but read some other entries. I promise they’re better.
