[QUOTE=skynrdfan3;28905024]sharks dont feel pain brah[/QUOTE] I disagree. Sharks have dominated the ocean for about 400,000,000 years and remained on the top of the food chain for most of that time. They have some of the most advanced sensory organs on the planet unique to them. Thought current neurological evidence suggests that sharks highly lack unmyelinated nociceptors they still have them, suggesting at least to me that they do feel some pain. They may be "hard" as a steroid abusing body builder on an adrenalin rush, but the sense is still there. Tests have proven that fish (including goldfish([i]gasp[/i])) do in fact feel pain. It would seem illogical that such a successful animal, that has dominated the seas since the Paleozoic would not feel pain. I don't think we know enough about sharks to assume that they don't feel anything. Not nearly enough research has gone into sharks to jump on conclusions that they don't feel pain and until then I'll take the benefit of the doubt.
