I like X's answer that we confine ourselves to eating only animals who have
been bred specifically as a food source.
Okay. No more lobster. Only farm-raised salmon and catfish for fish or fish meal. No herring, anchovies, tuna, albacore, no crabs, limited number of oysters (we have an oyster farm here, that's okay, but most are wild.) Bye-bye sushi bars.
Most of the land animals are okay because we've destroyed their habitat enough that we can't raise enough wild chickens, beef, turkeys, pigs, etc. to live off of. But so far, we haven't farmed the sea in the same way we have farmed the land. |
