"I have friends who remember seeing fish hauled onto a boat's deck and beaten to death"

- Casey Affleck

About this Quote

In this quote, Casey Affleck is describing a disturbing memory from his friends. The image of fish being strongly killed on a boat's deck is a stunning and upsetting one. It recommends an absence of empathy and respect for these animals, as they are treated as mere objects instead of living beings. This memory may also speak to bigger problems of animal ruthlessness and the neglect for the worth of life. Affleck's use of the word "beaten" adds a sense of brutality and violence to the scene, making it even more troubling. In general, this quote highlights the extreme truth of how humans can mistreat and hurt animals.
