Schools of Devon: Please Teach All Students That Fish Feel and Have Classroom Debates on Fishing and Eating Fish!!!

Hello 👋,
When I go out to visit the beach, I often come across people fishing. I generally do not behave disrespectfully to them, but I am very upset by it as I feel that fishing is animal cruelty, and I very strongly disagree with it.
The science says that fish feel pain. Fish biologist Victoria Braithwaite states that "Fish feel pain." In one study, researchers dropped LEGO blocks into water with Rainbow Trout. Trout typically avoid unfamiliar objects that are dropped into their water in case it is dangerous. But, when the fish were injected with ascetic acid, they stayed put, presumably because of pain. Fish injected with both ascetic acid and morphine retained their usual reactions, presumably due to the morphine's painkilling properties.
Education can really influence people. Imagine the result if more children and young people were taught about science of fish's capacity to feel pain. Imagine how many people could be influenced against fishing, and not go fishing and, perhaps, not eat fish...
The book "Do Fish Feel Pain?" by Victoria Blaithwate further argues and presents scientific fact and proof for fish feeling pain. Lynne Snedon, director of Bioveterinary Sciences at Liverpool University, discovered that fish possess the nerves needed to feel pain. "My research has shown that fish have a strikingly similar neuronal system to mammals," she said. When Snedon's team gave trout an injection of ascetic acid, the fish began breathing faster and rubbing the injection site on gravel, indicating that they feel pain. When they administered drugs such as morphine, aspirin and lidocaine, the fish's pain symptoms stopped. "If fish did not experience pain," Sneddon said, "Then analgesic drugs would have no effect."
Science may not be certain, but the evidence is that it is very likely that fish feel pain, yet we treat them as if they don't.
Fish are caught on hooks, tearing their lips, pulled out of their breathing zone, flipping around, and struggling to breathe, until they either suffocate, get killed with rocks or are released back into the water, with many of those released fish dying later on anyway.
Please, please, hear the cry of the fish of the oceans, seas, rivers, ponds, lakes, reservoirs and other bodies of water and teach kids and teenagers about these fish's capacity to feel pain. Please also hear the cries of the oceans and other bodies of water that are fast losing their fish. Sussex banned recreational fishing on grounds of declining fish populations - why can't Devon take heed and at least teach our children and teenagers about fish's capacity to feel pain and hold debates about whether it is right to fish?
The world's oceans are losing their fish fast - billions of fish are caught commercially, killed and eaten by humans, while billions more are also caught by people for "sport". Trophy anglers aim to catch the biggest fish possible, and it is known that hunters who target the biggest mammals can have very negative effects on the populations of those wild animals. Recreational fishers who target the larger fish are taking the big breeders, having negative effects on the fish's populations. Recreational fishers also sometimes catch threatened species, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Fishing can also harm wildlife through the hooks and gear being discarded, which then injure and kill birds. Birds can try to eat the bait with hooks still in it and then injure their throats and choke.
Fishing is harmful to birds, it is harmful to fish populations (which, in turn, affects predators like seabirds, sharks and predatory fish and, probably, humans as well), and it is harmful to individual fish. Let's give our children and teenagers all the facts, hold classroom debates and help stop this cruelty and environmental devastation ASAP!!!!
Thank you 😊.
Best Wishes to all,
Rory.
Have the best day and night ever!
