It’s a freaking fish, man. Of course we should all hope that humans don’t go through the same thing. It’s like looking at salmon and being “I hope you, guy eating the salmon, never experiences being filleted and then cooked into a delicious dish in an oven, with some sliced lemons on top of you and some asparagus on the side”. No shit! Humans are different! This is just one of those pity parties that people throw posting upworthy etc etc because a fish got long covid.
- gnabgib 2y agoThe orca is a mammal[0]. Salmon, while also impressive, are fish. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca

- Der_Einzige 2y agoBesides the obvious "Vegans and Vegetarians", you'll find that an awful lot of folks from India and surrounding regions will not be down with any consumption of cattle what-so-ever.
- renewiltord 2y agoOkay, yeah, that’s fine. If people are reacting this way because they’re religiously vegan, that makes sense. I’m not, so the anxiety fish who’s been going to therapy for years is not of any significance.
- Der_Einzige 2y agoNo, Many of those in india will eat Chicken - but not beef. The view of seeing most as either "meat eaters" or "vegetarians" or "vegans" is very "eurocentric"
- renewiltord 2y agoSure sure, if they are upset about the neurotic whale for religious reasons it doesn’t matter what chickens they eat. I’m happy to accept that’s why they’re upset. I personally don’t care that much about a cow with intergenerational trauma.
- Apocryphon 2y agoYou seem to be the most upset commentator in this entire thread. Perhaps you should not have a “cow”, as they say.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoI also hope you never experience being filleted and cooked.
- renewiltord 2y agoYou and me, brother. I pray this every day. But I’m still gonna eat the fish, and may the day never come that our roles are reversed.
- Apocryphon 2y agoYou’re admitting to eating orca meat? That’s a serious violation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act and bears investigation if true.
