People don’t consider fish to be even animals at times so lol (https://v2.jacky.wtf/post/aff34872-928c-4c8f-891a-7d8705ceaa5c)
@jalcine fish is different enough from other meats (taste, nutrition, farming, etc) that I don't find it too bizarre to make that separation. w.r.t societal harm, fishing doesn't cause #deforestation & probably doesn't have a significant carbon footprint.
Fishing is the reason why the ocean is falling apart - with the amount of pollution it causes. The whole triad around straws is just a literal drop in the ocean. (https://v2.jacky.wtf/post/68d9b23b-edff-494d-8ddc-196e59766d75)
@jalcine i know over-fishing is a problem, but isn't #deforestation a bigger problem? Some ppl go pescatarian in order to minimize harm w/out denying themselves omega-3 fatty acids.
Stopping one doesn’t dismiss, diminish or reduce the impact of the other. We need to stop doing or severely reduce both actions. (https://v2.jacky.wtf/post/5a149c90-bca8-4525-ab05-9415270baa78)
