I'm sorry but that's idiotic

The hell you mean? Of course it senses hurt. Why do you think humans are special cause we say ow?

What the fuck.

OK but how do we know their response to the phenomenon in this article is experienced by the fish in a way akin to pain and not akin to fear or anxiety? (Or all of the above). Its just weird for the article to say a fish is for sure feeling pain, and not provide actual evidence for that.

I'm not saying the experience isn't awful for it, so please dont turn the conversation that way.
