does fish feel pain

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
most living things on the planet have some kind of nervious system....trees and such are not included....So I would have to say yea....I bet they do....They bleed don't they? They have brains, don't they?
Jen ;)
 
i'm sure they do. were living creatures ourselves and we feel pain. and since a fish is a living creature i'm sure they feel pain also.
 
Just because they don't scream in anguish, does not mean they do not feel pain. As mentioned above, if they have a Central Nervous System, there has to be some degree of discomcort from injury.

Thanks oscar1.....
 
yes they diffinetlly feel pain.
 
I'm sure they feel something, but thier nervous systems are not nearly as well developed as birds, mammals and other life forms.

Agreed. They might feel something, but i am not sure if it is pain.
