Fish have feelings too?

We have an open market in Seattle called Pike Place, many have heard of it. Most tourists who come by, usually stop in. They have a fish market where they sell some really good, fresh fish. One of the big draws is watching them throw the fish. You pick one out to buy, they throw it to the guy wrapping it up. Pretty impressive. Apparently, PETA doesnt think so.

PETA says that according to studies, fish not only feel pain, but they learn tasks, have long-term memories and show affection.

someone aught to tell them the these fish are dead and they no longer feel pain.

PETA peeved at Pike Place video

I think I am going to buy a fish and train it to take out the trash.

Too funny. Perhaps the fish in the Sound saw their dead brothers being thrown and had feelings about that.

I loved this quote: "We love fish. We respect fish," assistant manager Justin Hall said. "Fish is what makes our business thrive and what drives customers to us. There's nothing we would ever do to disrespect seafood."
