THIS IS UNSUSTAINABLE! All humans will eventually have no choice but be vegetarian/vegan (which is healthier anyway for our own bodies) if we want a habitable planet. Humans are too used to decimating our planet.”Old habits die hard”. “Live simply so that others may simply live” is relevant as ever.
This is just despicable, wtf is wrong with people, this has to be banned.
quite fishy post. start with areas not all the same
Watch Seaspiracy and learn
Nearly all seas are overfished

Horrifying and cruel
Absolutely disgusting.
¿Por quÉ se acaban los caladeros? ¿ Por qué cada vez se pesca menos? ... PAN PARA HOY,
HAMBRE PARA MAÑANA
Arrrghhhhh. Go vegan people.. stop this horror.
There are supposed to onboard observers documenting bycatch & processes of industrial fishing fleets / processors at sea.
Has the marine observer program ended?
I'm sure it's either understaffed or corrupted like the rest of our regulating agencies.
Watch seaspiracy and you will know how corrupted (and the rest of this industry) sustainability labels are for example.

8.000 millions of humans eating every day
They can eat plantbased food and let the ocean be and still we save billions of hectares of land.
It is just more efficient to feed the world with a plantbased diet.
We are omnivores by nature but we should also be mindful of nature.
We are not obligate omnivores we can thrive on a plantbased diet in all stages of life.
Not obligate but we are. That's how nature intended it.
Humans are not obligate carnivores, eating animals is choice, not necessary. We are omnivores with options. Eat plant based end the suffering, and this waste of life.
That does not imply we have to use and eat animals or their products.
Overfishing is a problem and the damage we do to the environment needs to be halted, trying to tug on peoples heartstrings while there are multiple ongoing genocides feels like a waste of time. Also fish is becoming cheaper than beef somehow so not eating it just' isn't possible.
Caring about overfishing and other injustices isn’t either/or, you can hold both. Cost driving demand doesn’t make eating fish ‘not possible,’ it makes it convenient. Plenty of cheap(er) plant proteins exist too. ‘Feels like a waste of time’ isn’t an argument, it’s a dismissal.
You're right, I was being dismissive. I just don't care about fish suffering. There has to be a line somewhere and I draw mine at pets, everything else is food. Plants also suffer but you're fine eating them because it doesn't count for you and that's ok. Some people cannot live off plants alone.
Agree, there are people who need to eat according to their metabolic type.
Some people have food sensitivities / allergies even to plant foods, some people need to watch for allergens in plant-based foods-- allergens added to foods to make them palatable.
Agree, animal agriculture is exploitative.
Yeah it is and it needs to change. I've found telling my more conservative neighbors that they'd get better quality steak if there were better regulations and conditions for cattle as opposed to telling them eating steak is wrong to get them to shift away from the fearmongering narratives from fox.

I'm sorry Hart, plants dont have a nervous system to suffer. What is suffering is the oceanic ecosystem because of industrial scale fishing. At least source your seafood ethically (there is a certification) if you have to eat it.
and yet they respond to trauma as do most living things in some way. Again, you feel it doesn't meet YOUR standard just like a fish feeling pain doesn't meet my standard for what is suffering. You justify it because you simply don't care about plants the same way I don't care about fish.
i care about plants AND i care about fish AND the environment as a whole. dont be selfish. when you die early of mercury and PFAS poisoning you will remember this post.
Do you think plants don't contain pfas? Also why is it those that claim moral high ground always wish the most harm on others?
Clearly you dont know about amplification up the food chain. Read up a bit.
You know I watched a piece once on how tofu in some countries are full of plastics because they use those plastics as fuel for the fires they make the tofu over. Never mind breathing all that in. Plants and plant based foods can be contaminated.
Exactly !
Mmmmmm~ I love fish.... can't wait to smell these guys frying up!
This is why your fish tastes fishy too. I’d rather be a vegetarian.

We are living in a holocaust world, free them and save us
go vegan stop the holocaust.
There is a literal ongoing holocaust right now ontop of multiple other genocides. Ima eat some ribs just for you.
It's not like you care about any genocide going on right now.
Comparing fishing to the holocaust is disgusting and performative. You're just a bad person and you now have to face that fact.
Calling me bad won't distract you from your constant existential dread. I wish you no luck on any of that.
Ok
