Hi - no, I don't really flush, that's just an expression. I had a fish
die on me last year and I placed him in the wastebasket, already dead.

Fish don't feel pain, correct? Due to the fact they don't have a
nervous system, only a reactive system? This is what I've heard and
read - they are luckier than we humans if you ask me.

Thanks for the freezer information, I hope it doesn't come to that.


This is a hotly contested topic. Do they feel pain? That depends on how you
define pain. They do have a nervous system, just not one similar to higher
mammals.
