I have always felt that - I never eat fish. I am so weird that I think "fishing" is cruel.... I was a fish hobbyist some years ago (just like the dentist in "Finding Nemo") I had fresh water tanks and then worked my way up to a reef tank. Then I got sick with depression and "realized" I was "playing God" with the fish in my tank and I disassembled the tank, gave away like $300 worth of technical books on fish keeping and sold all the equipment and gave the fish to the store.... now I sort of regret it, but it is a big responsibility to manage a salt water reef tank (when it is only 10 gallons!) - and with school and work what it is these days, there's no way I could keep on top of it anyway. Plus it was always a surprise - you never knew just what you might find in your tank or what disaster might befall you or the fish.... you have to mix salt water every week, and monitor PH etc.... I digress....Disney Princess Ariellen wrote:Agreed! I eat next to no seafood because of TLM, and the thought of eating flounder or crab makes me cringe. Finding Nemo sort of reaffirmed this...fish ARE friends, not food!ichabod wrote:
Even though Bambi didn't put me off meat, after I saw the Little Mermaid it certainly put me off fish!
It was just amazing all the stuff that was in Finding Nemo that these guys who wrote that film had researched or already knew about fish keeping. I really appreciated the touches like when they tried to clog the filter and I knew how nasty it would get.... where did I see that they had actually gone scuba diving to see the fish and learn about them? Maybe that was a special feature on the DVD, I can't remember.
