Attention, pescatarians: Fish feel pain, have complex social relationships, and love to play games, and some even have longer attention spans than humans do. They’re complex beings who also communicate in ways that are strikingly familiar—they “talk” to each other using squeaks and squeals and use various types of body language to give each other directions or warn of potential danger. What’s more, fish flesh, which can concentrate high levels of chemical residues, is toxic to humans, and the seafood industry is destroying the environment. There’s no need to eat fish when you can “catch” one of the many vegan seafood products available online or in grocery stores across the country today.
