Some guy on TV stuck on a desert island was declaring himself a pescetarian.
That doesn’t mean he was annoying – even though he clearly was.
It meant that he only eats fish.
He was doing a big boy cry as some others wanted to kill a pig.
So I asked him through my TV :
“What’s the difference between a fish and a pig?”
They are the same – in terms of sentience.
Is there a superior morality in not eating one and not eating another?
He did not respond.
Proving I am right once more.
A pescetarian is a portmanteau word, combining the Italian word for fish – pesces – with vegetarian.
Similar to blonkers.
A portmanteau word describing a particular kind of madness for which there is no cure.
Pesky can only be used on old episodes of Scooby Doo.
I had to get special permission from Hanna-Barbera for the last sentence and earlier reference.
Piggies are not for hands, it’s Teddy Bears
I think you meant to say they ONLY eat fish. But, I do agree. It makes no sense! They’re all living things. Unless they are doing it for dietary or allergy reasons… It makes no sense.

They do. But is eating fish morally Superior to eating a pig?

It depends. Pigs are smart like dogs, but some fish are more endangered. How about cats and dogs? I find that more upsetting.

It definitely is. If the guy on the island had a cat no-one would have argued . If the guy had a dog only a North Korean would have argued. It’s sort of like Dolphins – bright can’t eat them but Tuna…

I want to say thank you.
Never quite understood myself why some animals seem to take higher rank than others.
Makes absolutely no sense.
I am thinking someone just lacks the stones to go all the way… but why fish should be the accepted feed….no clue!😂

We have more in common with pigs that with fish? Plus fish tend not to look into your soul when you kill them

is there a human element? Convenience? Perhaps things would change quicker if more were killing directly what they eat. But is killing fish because they look gormless even worse?

Personally if I had to kill what I ate I’d be living on salad and veg – I went fishing once and my boyfriend at the time killed the only fish I caught (a cod not that that has any bearing on it) and I was heartbroken. I guess I’m a hypocrite and should really be a vegetarian but I like eating meat and fish so what can I say?
