    People wouldn’t care nearly as much if he said this while standing over a pond full of fish, but since they’re cute, fuzzy lambs, it’s Crossing The Line.

      To be fair, fish brains are much further removed than other mammals.

      Mammals have memories and can love. They have opinions and personalities.

      The distinction that I would better is how up in arms some people get at the idea of eating dogs or cats but other mammals are perfectly fine.

        Fish definitely have memories. They definitely learn who feeds them. Ask any observant aquarium owner.
