Summary: An individual is opposing the proposed action on the grounds of animal welfare, arguing that fishing causes unnecessary pain and cruelty to fish and crustaceans. They advocate for the protection of marine life and the cessation of fishing activities.
Please stop killing the poor fish and crustaceans and leave them in peace. People don't need to eat fish and crustaceans, so please leave them alone. Please protect the fish and the crustaceans instead, and do not torture and/or kill the fish and crustaceans anymore. Fishing does cause pain for fish and other sea animals. Recent studies reflect this discovery of fish actually experiencing pain. So, it would make sense that fish feel pain when being pierced with a hook or dying of asphyxia when taken out of the water. It's just cruel. Please check out the links below. All this killing is unnecessary, so please put an end to it. Fishing already inflicts massive pain on the fish species as is along with also harming/killing many Marine Mammals to top it off. Please protect all the Shrimp, the other Crustaceans, and the other sea animals out there, because they are all precious and beautiful and they deserve protection just as other animals do.
