Summary: An individual is requesting that the government stop the killing of fish, arguing that fishing is cruel and that fish are capable of experiencing pain. They advocate for the protection of various salmonid species and other marine life, stating that such killing is unnecessary.
Please stop killing the poor fish and leave them in peace. People don't need to eat fish, so please leave them alone. Please protect the fish instead, and do not torture and/or kill the fish anymore. Fishing does cause pain for fish. 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 link 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 Anadromous Fish, including the Chum Salmon, the Puget Sound Chinook Salmon, the Puget Sound Steelheads, and the other salmonids out there, because they are all precious and beautiful and they deserve protection just as other animals do.
