Nice fluff piece, but it's still complete speculation as to how fish "feel" when out of water or anything else. Currently, science can't tell if a fish can hurt in the same sense that humans can.
If they come up with something dirt cheap to kill them faster, I'm all for it. No down side to give a fish the benefit of the doubt. This isn't something I'm going to worry about, though.
I'm sorry but that's idiotic
The hell you mean? Of course it senses hurt. Why do you think humans are special cause we say ow?
What the fuck.
Maybe they are kinky. Idk.
