    You bet they feel pain. They have nerve ending same as any vertebrate. Less processing ability, but still......

    Does it stop me from fishing. Lord no.

    I cannot believe someone actually gave these guys money and morphine to carry out this study.

    I thought it was interesting, but at the same time stupid to think that they dont feel pain. I also enjoy fishing wich is why I read the article. Just goes to show ya how out of control our animal loving has become.
