Like the whole culture around eating meat is meant to distance oneself from the harm of it.

Cow flesh —- Beef
Pig flesh —- Pork

People don’t consider fish to be even animals at times so lol (v2.jacky.wtf/post/aff34872-928)

@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 & probably doesn't have a significant carbon footprint.

@resist1984 @jalcine overfishing and modern fishing practices do contribute significantly to the deoxification of whole habitats however, creating what are called deadzones.

Essentially, ecological destruction doesn't just boil down to carbon emissions, and not fishing will always require less fuel than fishing.

@seasharp @jalcine isn't it overly blunt to group all fish species together? I thought some fish are severely overfished, whereas Mackrel in the UK is quite unpopular & not in the slightest at risk for overfishing. A fish consumer could obviously overfished species.

@jalcine @seasharp personally i rarely eat fish, but I shrimp outright b/c of 90% bycatch rates
