Yes, we don't ban plant cruelty or insect cruelty or fish cruelty.
For example fish is treated way worse than meat animals and vegetarians still happily eat fish.
- mikestorrent 6mo agoAre we actually much more cruel to fish than to other animals that we slaughter?
- onion2k 6mo agoWe suffocate them to kill them when we pull them from the sea. That's quite mean. Few people would advocate the humanity of killing a cow in the same way.
- mikestorrent 6mo agoFair enough. How much more would it cost / how much more would one have to pay for humanely slaughtered tuna and salmon, I wonder? Would there be a market? After all, we have certified-organic, fair trade, halal and kosher....
- marliechiller 5mo agoJust to call out - halal and kosher are _less_ humane than simply killing an animal in the usual industrial way
- pishpash 6mo agoOr freeze them live into a block of ice.
- missingdays 6mo agoAre you aware of how cows are actually killed?
- onion2k 6mo agoI am. It's not very nice. Arguably nicer than suffocating though.
- datadrivenangel 6mo agoshrimp welfare is a real thing people argue for...
- mikestorrent 6mo agoCitation.... not _needed_, but just morbid curiousity
- rkomorn 6mo ago> vegetarians still happily eat fish I've not met any vegetarians in at least twenty years that eat fish.
- tikotus 6mo agoThis does not sound like any of the several vegetarians I know. Is it a cultural difference?
- BostonFern 6mo agoIn Scandinavia in particular, there’s a tendency of pescatarians to refer to themselves as vegetarian for social convenience, but that hasn’t changed the definition of “vegetarian”.
- Lionga 6mo ago> vegetarians still happily eat fish Please look up what a vegetarian is.
