Eat a couple of chickens and save a lamb etc etc.If you assume that fish are at the less intelligent end of the food animal spectrum then best to eat them rather than more of the other options. Fish caught on a line gets dispatched quickly and onto ice. Fish in a net gets crushed, drowned, dies slowly etc. Catch your fish by line to minimise the hurt. Other than that go vegeterian and start worrying whether plants have feelings. |
