Current Events > do you guys think fish are like... less alive than other animals we eat?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I just ask because some people aren't full vegetarians and just eat fish but no other meat. :v Are fish a lot dumber than say, a chicken or something? What makes eating them more justified?

I'm a pescatarian for health reasons.

I don't think most pescatarians choose their diet because of any kind of animal cruelty reasons.

Pescatarian diet sounds great until your kidneys die

Some eat only ocean-caught fish and eschew farm raised. They are okay with eating fish that lived a natural life but do not believe in raising animals for the purpose of being eaten.

Not less alive. Just not sentient. Like, almost braindead :P. But like others said, fish are given the exception for health reasons, not moral ones.

i imagine factory farm chickens and shit aint got it great
but
fish breathe their own and other fishes shit and piss all day every day for the entirety of their existence
like literally taking fart and turd in they lungs all day
and ppl eat that shit
gross

so I guess if you are going to eat meat, fish is a bit more ethical at least :v

I do think I need to cut back on animal products, maybe this would be a good first step. Ill miss eggs though

No. As a vegetarian, I do not distinguish between types of animal flesh.

I have considered breaking vegetarianism and eating fish for health reasons though.

Less alive? Seeds and viruses could be said to be "the least alive" living things.

I guess you mean less sentient.

I think that argument can make sense, morally.

Most insects and worms being even less sentient.

no, i'm less alive than the things i've consumed

It's okay to eat fish 'cause they
don't have any feelings

I make it a point to only eat very intelligent animals. Octopus, dolphin, chimps, crows, etc. I'm absorbing their brain power to make me smarter. I heard Stephen Hawking did the same thing.

no way.

a tuna is a 1000-pound gigantic amazing organism.

Eggs and honey are the most ethical animal products you can eat.
