Why do some vegetarians eat fish:|?!

If you don't eat any meat but fish you are not classed as a vegetarian but a pescatarian. Pescatarians will often support this choice by saying that fish live in the wild before they are killed, unlike chickens or cows which usually spend their short life in crowded factories. Either that or fish aren't cute

I tell people I'm a vegetarian but I eat fish sometimes. I only do this as to not confuse the majority of people because they don't understand anything beyond the basics of vegetarianism. It's true I do it for health reasons, eating meat makes me sick. Some fish makes me sick too but not as bad. I haven't had any fish in weeks though so it's not a huge thing for me if I eat it or not.

Most of the time I tell people that I can't eat bacon and start crying. A life without bacon is terrible.

I wish I had a dollar for every time that question has been asked in here. Here we go again... who can say "déjà vu"?

Vegetarians don't eat animals. Fish are animals. Therefore, vegetarians do not eat fish.

Pescetarians eat fish. Pescetarians are a subclass of omnivore, not a subclass of vegetarian.

Some pescetarians wrongly call themselves vegetarians. Sometimes that's through ignorance (they have been misled themselves, and genuinely believe that they are vegetarians), sometimes laziness (they're tired of having to explain what a pescetarian is, so they pretend to be "fish-eating vegetarians", knowing full-well that there's no such thing), sometimes malice, sometimes mischievousness.

If they eat fish, they're a pescetarian.

& if they eat fish, they're probably doing it for their health rather than animal rights, are unaware that fish aren't necessarily from the wild (they can be factory farmed) so they don't feel bad, or they might find it'd be easier for them to first eliminate meat from their diet and then work on eliminating fish.

Vegetarians don't eat animals so neither fish. Some people think that vegetarians eat fish because they confuse vegetarianism with a generic health consciousness. It's a qui pro quo due to the fact that vegetarian comes from the latin term "vegetus" that means "healty".

They're probably not actual vegetarians who care for animals. They're vegetarians because they're people who feel conscious about their body and are on a diet. LOL.

This is coming from a strong-opinionated vegetarian...

If a "vegetarian" eats fish, then, they're simply not vegetarians in my book.

They don't. Vegetarians do not eat the flesh of dead animals. Fish are animals. Anyone who calls himself/herself a vegetarian and eats fish is deluded.

People who say im vegetarians they are not eat fish if they eat fish they are not vegetarians they are fool

vegetarians do not eat fish.

If someone eats fish, they are not a vegetarian.

Because they are not vegetarians.

vegan :D

If they eat fish, then they are not vegetarians

Cos they think fish grow on trees?

They are free agents for a start. Fish killing is less grusome than meat-slaughter too.
