Braithwaites article talks about the way mankind see some animals as our friends but others as a way to pass the time. I don't think that this is fair to the "lesser animal". "Hooked on a Myth" says that there have been experiments showing that fish do show pain contrary to what some might think. Though the fish have been shown to have the ability to experience pain these are the kinds of experiments that show we need to change the way we conduct experiments in the science profession. In the article it states that the researchers injected bee venom into the fishes lips just to prove that they can feel pain. This procedure also proved that we should be treating the fish better even thought the experiment contradicted that. This may have proven that we should change but I doesn't prove that we will. Many fisherman wont change their ways because of an experiment and I don't plan on them to. they can do what they know they can this article was not written to be become a law but to simply shed light on the situation.
