This. I know how deplorable killing animals for consummation is, but at the same time, I'd never stop since about 90% or more of the food I like is non-vegetarian.

How about pescetarianism? It's what I'm planning and fishing is definitely way less harmful and polluting than factory farms and slaughterhouses. Also, not sure how "deplorable" it is to kill animals for consumption when it's what literally what every carnivore needs to do to survive.

Humans aren't animals like wolves that they need to eat animals - they have a choice, and they choose to eat a lot of meat. To be honest, eating fish really isn't all that bad, but the real problem is eating chickens and cows. When real carnivores like wolves/lions/foxes, etc., eat chickens/cows/their prey generally, they just kill and eat them. Humans, on the other hand, aren't really aware of what happens to the pigs and cows and chickens they eat - the animals are abused, mistreated and seriously tortured before being butchered and slaughtered. Any comparison between how animals eat meat and how we eat meat is totally unreasonable - are these photos enough evidence, or do you need more? Still, returning to your point on fish, I don't think eating fish is nearly as cruel, since as far as I know fish are just killed and eaten, not brutally abused and tortured first. I mean it's not necessarily a good thing to eat fish, but from a moral standpoint, it's much better than eating pigs (see link above).

I generally agree with this, though the way fish are killed isn't great either, suffocation is not really the best of deaths, though it is far superior to torture and slitting necks.
