As I've mentioned many times before, know your FACTS before you come in and
try to change someone's mind

Sometimes the purpose of posting something is part of the process of
learning the facts, but I'll review what I do know below.


You remind me of a religious zealot. Blind to the natural world around him,
ignoring anything that doesn't fit into his or her perfect little concept.

A minute ago I admittedly didn't know the facts, and now I have a
perfect little concept and am blind to something?

Here's what we know. Sarah Fox isn't saying not to eat fish or not to
fish, or that a hook causes pain, or even that fish contains too much
mercury. If she has no reason to believe that cold-anesthesia can
reduce suffering, why would she say it does? It's all about reducing
pain. Her argument would be a very inefficient way of saving lives of
fish, so I don't think that's what's motivating her. Her methods are
simple and worth using, at least in some cases. If this thread teaches
people nothing else, I hope it teaches people that there's a
possibility (I'd say a likelihood) of fish feeling pain, and you
shouldn't gut or clean them without at least cutting off the head. Or
do whatever you think will cause the least pain.
