| | Peter Singer on Fish |
 | | Fish, for instance, make vibratory sounds, and different calls have been distinguished by researchers, including sounds indicating alarm and aggravation. Fish also show signs of distress when that are taken out of the water and allowed to flap around in a net or on dry land until they die. |
 | | But even with fish who are not farmed, the death of a commercially caught fish is much more drawn out than the death of, say, a chicken, since fish are simply hauled up in the air and left to die. |
 | | Several once-abundant species of fish, such as the herrings of Northern Europe, the California sardines, and the new England haddock, are not scarce as to be, for commercial purposes, extinct. |
