    Alright, abolish animal farming then. All wild animals in the world would last less than 2 months. We don’t have to kill others.

      Animal farming isn’t going to be abolished in my lifetime. And I can’t make decisions for everyone.

      So the relevant question is what I should do, personally, to reduce my personal impact. A purely vegan diet is not the answer.

          Well, since farming vegetables kills more animals than killing a wild fish, it makes sense to include wild fish in my diet.

              So neither pure fish based nor pure plant based, but rather a combination of the two. Also one could occasionally eat other wild animals obtained via hunting, like deer.

                  Dog meat is farmed. The whole point is to avoid farmed food when possible, whether it’s plant or animal.

                    Right, but you got to acknowledge that dogs and cats are a far more available in cities. Just because you have the privilege of easy to kill fish you can not blame others for killing wild dogs and cats. Cats kill so much birds, it is much better for the environment to kill them instead of fish.
