Do fish feel pain?

Now here's a thread that will "realy" haul in the responses. MOOHAHAW!

Sorry, I was "floundering" for something to say. MOOOHAHAW!

OK OK! That one was just done on "porpus"! MOOHAHAW!

[sniff, sniff] Is it just me or am I smelling a bit "musky" today? MOOHAHAW!

Gotta go. These puns really have me "crealing" and I have to "pike" my nose to boot!

Got you feeling crappy did it?

Shad I email Matt to zap the thread?

From my perch, I thought I should just throw it out there and see if I got a nibble.

Just fishing for reactions is all.

PETA already did. They are describing fishing as cruel and all the rest.

I'd better clam up with the fishy puns.

I might offend some crabby person.

Sometimes I just sound off for the halibut.

Holy mackerel, I'd refrain from it if I cod.

If PETA starts to get more involved, I'm going to do some fishing trips that I normally wouldn't. This is in my continuing efforts to protest their stupid ways. PETA sucks.

I haven't owned any tackle in a long time, but I'm thinking about going and getting some today.

Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta-ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dog-fish
Chased by a cat-fish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhale
HERE COMES A BIKINI WHALE!

No sense in carping over this for too long. I'd be a reel sucker to keep this up for too long.

This is one whale of a thread!

I will take up fishing full time if PETA goes off on this one. Those people are a bunch of sharks

From the CNN report on the same story:
Animal rights organization PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is opposed to all angling, welcomed the study but said fish should not suffer to prove something obvious.

Dawn Carr, director of PETA (Europe), told PA: "It is unfortunate that these animals were made to suffer for this study, because we've been saying for years that of course fish can suffer and feel pain, just as all animals do.

"However we hope that when people see these results, they will think twice about going angling. Marine biologists and common sense tell us that if you trick a small animal into impaling his or herself in the mouth, that animal is suffering.

"It's shocking that people will still go fishing for fun. We argue that for every cruel thing people do, there is a compassionate alternative."

There is no parody of PETA you can make that they haven't already topped themselves.
