Enjoy seafood while you can:

Each year, more than two trillion wild and farmed fish are killed to feed humanity. Their deaths often go unnoticed. Yet beneath the surface is a simple biological fact: fish can suffer.

It’s a regular submarine Holocaust.

Rainbow trout, a species farmed and consumed across the globe, experience not just death – but a prolonged and intense form of distress when killed by air asphyxiation.

The Experts are taking steps to address this:

Unlike environmental impact or public health, animal suffering lacks a universal metric. There are no equivalents to carbon footprints or life years lost. To address this, scientists developed the Welfare Footprint Framework (WFF).

A similar metric might be employed to determine how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

This tool measures pain in minutes, allowing researchers to compare welfare outcomes across species and conditions.

This will facilitate regulations to hamper fish production, with the eventual goal of eradicating it. Even if systems are imposed that prevent fish from feeling any pain at all, they still don’t want to die. If you think it is okay for fish to perish just so you can eat, you have committed speciesism.

Next liberals will fret that crops feel pain. No wait, they already have.
