Barks doesn't eat fish

Top answer

Usually 'won't' (which is, of course, a contraction of 'will not') is a stronger statement. It indicates that the situation will not change in the future and it is a deliberate action taken to NOT do something. On the other hand, 'doesn't' may only mean that someone has never had the opportunity to try something.
