Was that ever up for debate? I mean, what do people believe happens when one takes a creature adapted to breathing through water out of said water?

they don't want to think about it, or they directly think that all animals doesn't feel pain (or that the pain they suffer it's not important because they are just animals and "we as humans, are above them".

As a kid I liked to go fishing with my step father, and we (or at least I) never thought about what the fish felt, as they were so different to us, and they taught us that this was normal and fun.

It was years later that I really thought about it.
