Fish have a skeleton

First off, I would like to lay it out on the table that I am a vegetarian.

I'm not one of those girls that's all like, I LUVR ANIMANALS!!!!! UR A MURDER IF YOU EAT MEAT!!

I have many reasons, and the death of a living thing is only a part of that. By not eating meat, more of the grain that would go to feeding cows pigs and chickens will go to people in third world counties, by not eating meat, I am helping the planet. In addition to all that grain that those non-existent animals would have eaten, there is also the water they would have drank, and the pollution they would have created with there fecal matter. I am also a vegetarian because of the animal suffering, I don't like the fact that chickens die with half of there beaks cut off and never being able to fully spread there wings in there short life. I don't like the fact that pigs are intelligent enough to be house broken and used as pets, but we still kill them horribly. I don't like the fact that cows have there young taken away from them and sometimes even killed in front of them. I am vegetarian because its healthier to not have the added fat in your diet from meat. And lastly, I am vegetarian because it is important to my boyfriend who I love very much.


I putting this out here, not to preach at you, but so you realize the context that I am coming from.


Fish are meat, if you eat fish, you eat meat.

Thats you are not a vegetarian if your eating fish. The ocean is being depleted of fish because of the rate of commercial fishing going on right now, your not saving the planet by only eating fish, the fish your eating could be going to whales or other at risk or endangered species. Eating fish is more healthy then eating other meats, but its not a vegetable, it doesn't grow in the ground. There are no fish trees or fish bushes.


I know that was pretty bitchy and rant like, but I swear to god if I have to hear some self-righteous woman talk about animals rights, to only mow down on her McFish, I'm going to slap her with a Catfish.

  2. I agree with you in that I hate hearing people preach about animal rights and how you should live your life but they wear fur and have a hefty plate of red meat every night.

    I dont agree with you where you say if you eat fish your not a vegetarian. There are different types of vegetarians. There are strict ones like you and then there are people like people I know who dont eat red meat or eggs or stuff like that.

  3. Personally I'm a post modern vegetarian.

    I eat meat ironically.

    Well, i say that, but i just eat fish. And ducks, well they're semi submerged most of the time, they're practically fish.

    And pretty much every animal that lives in or near water.

    You've either got to go the whole hog or not at all in my opinion.
