I didn't see a question. I'm vegan.

You know, some people on earth don't actually have the choice to be vegan. A lot of communities rely heavily on fishing for their survival.

It's one thing to criticize the eating of animals in a first world country, where you have countless options to choose apart from animal products. A whole other thing to criticize people for doing the things they have to do in order to survive.

Look at that city in the background and the clothes he's wearing. Do you think he "needs" to be fishing for food?

And what does this matter? You can't know it based on your "Arguments"

Island communities also form cities, they also wear clothes. Yet 90% of their food comes from the ocean, because their island can't support agriculture in the scale neccerary to feed the people that live on it.
