So you don't have anything against killing a poor innocent fish??

I can see the point of veganism from an animal welfare point of view.
You're a meat eater, so for you veganism is useless. That's logical.

Ideally I shouldn't eat fish either. Or cheese or milk. I only eat our
own eggs. Our hens have a good life but where are their brothers?

No, I don't think you do see my point. I think that the pescatarians
have deluded themselves into thinking they are decent people because
they don't eat animals who met an agonizing death, but who don't realize
that the humanely slaughtered mammals and birds suffer a lot less than
the fish do.

So you're eating calves and lambs because you feel sorry for the fish.
I've underestimated you, Dave!

Ideally, I shouldn't eat fish either. But I feel less empathy towards
fish than towards mammals and birds. That's why I draw the line there.
I'd be a better person if I also didn't eat fish or eat cheese.

Anyway, it's strange when meat eaters judge pescatarians. It should be
the other way around. You'll eat anything, without any scruples. And
so does everybody else here. That's why I'll only accept judgment from
vegetarians and vegans

I don't know if you would be a better person for it. I don't discount
the idea that you might think that you are,

The only judgement is in the form of questioning how someone can refrain
from eating meat on the grounds that the critters suffer but having no
concern about the horrific suffering that fish go through when they are
caught in a net or on a hook and then thrown into the hold.

And I answered that question.

But why do you eat anything, knowing how much all these animals
suffer?
