Fish, The Forgotten Victims
Art by Ari Moore It is sad how little we respect fish. No one sees fish for what they are; living sentient beings. Instead they’re just a ”thing” . A shell, empty on the inside. When it comes to rights, fish are the last ones we think of. Or, actually, they are not considered at all. Vegans and vegetarians usually get asked if they eat fish when they tell people they do not...
