I, too, used to fish, and took pride in the number I was able to catch. I learned from my dad how to kill and clean them. It wasn’t until I was 30 years ago and on a fishing boat, where the captain found a school of fish for us using sonar, that the horror of what I was doing finally sunk in. Even so, I continued to eat fish for 20 more years. I am so sad when I think of how disconnected I was. Now I can’t even bear to see fish in tanks in people’s homes. I am so grateful for my enlightenment, and will do all I can to make others understand as well. —October 30, 2012
