Now comes the organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals calling for the banning of fish. Nobody likes to be around a moody mackerel or an abalone with an attitude. Yes, a fish has a central nervous system and yes, he or she can feel the pain of a hook in his or her mouth. I like them pan-fried in a light batter.
Some people say that they can hear a lobster squealing as it is put into a boiling pot.
Some people can also hear a goldfish clear its throat from across a crowded room. Imagine the first person coming across a lobster and deciding to eat it. Remember, in those days they didn't come with rubber bands around the claws. In the Bible, Jesus miraculously filled his disciples' nets with fish after a long day without a nibble. It doesn't' say anything about the fish being given the last rites.
