Most of the fish are social animals. They swim in schools, they engage with other fish very frequently. ⁣ ⁣ When kept in isolation, fish can also get depressed. Research has found that fish lose interest in exploring and eating. Just like us, when we feel depressed, we are withdrawn.⁣ ⁣ The depression is so obvious that researchers are using zebrafish to help developing anti-depressants.*⁣ ⁣ In Switzerland, it's not allowed to own a solitary goldfish. They need to have a companion. The same animal welfare law also protects other social animals like guinea pigs and parrots from living in isolation.⁣ ⁣ 🌱Feel free to repost @justcomics_official ⁣ *Reference:⁣ The New York Times "Fish depression is not a joke." https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/16/science/depressed-fish.html⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #comic#webcomic #drawing #instadraw #comics #webcomics #comix #instacomic#cartoon #fish #ocean #fishing #animalwelfare #sad #depress #FishAreFriendsNotFood #goldfish #veganart #cartoon #veganhk #fishfeels #vegancommunity #fishfeelpain #letfishlive #fishfeel #Vegan #eco #oceanconservation ⁣⁣⁣ #Sealifenotseafood #fishies
