Why Fish Feel Pain
null
Book •
Victoria Braithwaite's "Why Fish Feel Pain" presents a compelling case for the capacity of fish to experience pain.
The book synthesizes scientific research on fish neuroanatomy, physiology, and behavior to demonstrate that fish possess the necessary neural structures and exhibit behavioral responses consistent with pain perception.
Braithwaite challenges the common misconception that fish lack the capacity for suffering, arguing that their pain experience, while potentially different from that of mammals, is nonetheless real and significant.
The book has significantly contributed to the growing awareness of fish sentience and has implications for ethical considerations in fisheries and aquaculture.
Braithwaite's work highlights the importance of considering the welfare of all animals, regardless of their species.
