"Fishes are animals that are rarely included in s, whether the animals are pets, , or wild. Is this because humans assume an animal has fur and legs? I come to call fished Portable Food Units (PFUs) and why no fisher I meet, not even the most sensitive and thoughtful, sees them as anything else. The answer is that they cannot afford to. You cannot think fishes are sentient individuals who laugh and sing and have friends when you leave them gasping on the deck for hours or slice them open while they are still living."
