Here is an interesting artical on fish and pain.

This brings up a good point. I guess there is no difference in hooking a
fish in the mouth and dragging it 100 feet to you and hooking your pet dog
in the mouth and dragging it 100 feet to you.

Really?

If you hook a fish and try to reel it in, which way does the fish usually try
to go - away from you, or towards you?

And if you were to actually hook your pet dog in the mouth and start reeling
it in, which way do you think your pet would try to go - away from you, or
towards you?

Finally, if you were to actually hook your closest friend in the mouth and
start reeling him/her toward you, which way do you think he/she would try to
move?
