It's wrong to kill animals just so that you can enjoy their flesh, for many reasons that I can't be bothered to go into right now

that does remind me of the zoo in Syracuse, NY.
They have a lovely area where zoo patrons can have close encounters with cows and chickens, among other friendly animals.
Not 3 yards away there stands a Burger King kiosk serving up hot Bessie Burgers and Henny Penny fingers.
Straight-up macabre.

Ive been meat/poultry/seafood free for 6 years...and have avoided dairy and eggs for 2.
it just seems so bizarre to be a rec diver (or any diver) and also eat marine life!
to me it's like members of the audience at a Crufts dog show going out for delicious yorkshire terrier cutlets and grilled chihuahua fajitas afterwards.

Each to their own - you don't harm me and I won't harm you.
Eat what you like that's how I do it - I don't like meat or sea food but you might not like onions - I'll eat your onions you eat my sea food - deal?
My wife loves sea food and that's fine by me, just don't expect me to eat it and we're happy.
BUT when it comes to Shark's Fin, Deer Horn or Dried Sea Horse, I would have to complain and say some things are better left alive.
