The article is a review of the book "Fish Feel Pain – Scrutiny of A Dogma" by Alexander Schwab. The book critically examines the arguments surrounding whether fish can feel pain. The author reviews scientific publications on both sides of the controversy and critiques the pain-centered ideology of animal rights and animal liberation. The review argues that pain is the central issue in opposition to human uses of fish, but conservation and the well-being of fish populations should be the essential concern. The article concludes by recommending the book as a defense of human uses of fish and a counterargument to beliefs about fish pain. [Extracted from the article]
