Fish Do Feel Pain

Many people think fish can't feel pain, or that they're too simple minded to feel pain. That's basically like saying fish aren't alive, or fish aren't a source of meat. Scientist have researched and studied fish for years and they come to the conclusion that the pain system in fish is almost identical to the pain system of mammals. There has never been any form evidence that any animal could survive without the ability to feel pain. Fish always appear cautious. Fish have nociceptors and opioid receptors within their nervous systems. In fish, the nociceptors are connected to the brain in a way that is almost identical to that of a mammal and a human. This means that fish feel the exact amount of pain that we would feel. With all the evidence that scientist have come up with to support that fish are able to feel as much pain as we can, why don't people believe that fish can feel pain?
