"You're vegan? You eat fish, right?" In this episode, Nicole sits down with Mary Finelli, president and founder of Fish Feel, to explore why fish are animals and why they deserve the same compassion as land animals. Together, they delve into the overlooked suffering of aquatic animals, discuss plant-based alternatives to fish and seafood dishes, and share insights on challenging common misconceptions about fish and veganism (vegans don’t eat fish!). This conversation will open your eyes to the truth beneath the surface!

Mary Finelli is president and founder of Fish Feel, and she chairs the Save the Rays Coalition. Mary is a long-time animal rights activist with a B.S. in Animal Science. She has worked with various animal protection organizations, primarily focusing on farmed animals. Mary was the Producer of Farmed Animal Watch, a weekly online news digest sponsored by numerous animal protection organizations. She has contributed a chapter to Vegan Voices, and co-wrote a chapter of In Defense of Animals: The Second Wave.

Fish Feel is the first organization devoted to promoting the recognition of fishes as sentient beings deserving of respect and compassion.
