There are some moments where you'd rather wish not to witness the real and horrible act laid before your eyes.
I do not know what got into me that particular moment when I happened to witness how fishermen do really kill their bounty. For the longest time, it was only during that time when I had this reflection on how cruel death could be bestowed over a fish. Though fishes are part of our food chain, it would be really hard on their part to experience their untimely death on the hands of the fishermen.
When a fish is taken out of the water, we all know that too much oxygen can kill it. It is like gasping for some air the way a fish twitch and flipped but it is because of too much air which suffocates the fish. If a big fish is caught using a net or a hook, you have to strike hard its head so that you will not wrestle with it and for the fish not to be able to escape. And the most horrible act could be a forceful detachment of its gills to prevent it from fighting and struggling.
After witnessing the cruel death of a big fish, I entertained this idea about people becoming fishes and fishes to people. The question is: If you are a fish, what kind of death you will prefer in the hands of your captives?
