      Well, since farming vegetables kills more animals than killing a wild fish, it makes sense to include wild fish in my diet.

        A purely fish based diet is not the answer. It destroys the hole ecosystem.

          So neither pure fish based nor pure plant based, but rather a combination of the two. Also one could occasionally eat other wild animals obtained via hunting, like deer.

              Dog meat is farmed. The whole point is to avoid farmed food when possible, whether it’s plant or animal.

                Right, but you got to acknowledge that dogs and cats are a far more available in cities. Just because you have the privilege of easy to kill fish you can not blame others for killing wild dogs and cats. Cats kill so much birds, it is much better for the environment to kill them instead of fish.

                  People do kill feral dogs and cats. Even PETA does this. Morally, they should be eaten afterwards.

                  A wild fish can kill other animals every day. Cats do kill a lot of birds, but not quite at the same rate since they can also subsist by scavenging.

                  So while it’s moral to kill and eat feral cats, wild fish are preferred. Even if you have to pay someone to catch them.

                    So you are all the way vegan but jump from time to time in a lake and grab some fish? Is this how you imagine the world will progress?
