Is eating fish as a vegetarian ethical? ?!
Answers:
Ummm!. It's impossible, actually!.
What I think you're asking is whether it is more ethical to eat fish than land animals!. In my personal opinion, no, it isn't!. Lobsters lack a cerebral cortex, so in theory they can't perceive pain!. But in general, I think fish is one of the worst kinds of meat!. There's really no nice way to kill a fish!. It will ALWAYS cause trauma and pain!. I mean, unless maybe you throw dynamite underwater!.
I'm pretty sure that you'll get plenty of answers about the negative impacts that fishing has on the environment, etc, so I won't chime in there, either!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ethics aside, eating fish and being a vegetarian are mutually exlcusive!. Vegetarians don't eat dead animals so if you're eating dead animals you can't be vegetarian!. One or the other!. Which one to choose is where ethics come in!. And that's a matter of personal opinion!. I don't believe eating fish is ethical!. They are living, breathing creatures and they suffer when they are pulled out of the ocean to suffocate!. I don't believe commercial fishing with it's up to 90% by-catch is ethical!. Ten creatures shouldn't have to die so that one can end up on someone's plate!. It's not ethical to treat the planet like it belongs to us; if the oceanic ecosystems collapse by 2050 like some ecologists believe they will, it will be the fault of humans and our greed!. But you have to decide for yourself!. If you choose to eat fish, though, do everyone a favor and don't call yourself a vegetarian because you simply would not be one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The word "vegetarian" is used to describe people who don't eat meat or slaughter by products!. Fish and seafood are meat so you cannot define a person who eats fish/seafood a "vegetarian"!.
I do not understand your use of the word "ethical"!. If you eat meat, in this case fish, then you are not a vegetarian!.So what!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can be a piscaterion (!?) which means you eat fish, but not meat!. Which is totally wrong in my eyes!. If you don't want animals to die, don't eat them!. How can you have ethics for a cow but not a fish!? It doesn't make sense!.
I respect anyones beliefs, but to act so rightous about killing one animal and not another is stupid!. You might as well say that you are a vegetarian, but you don't mind the Japanese whaling!. Save the cow, but f*(k the dolphins! It is not right!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
