I thought fish were whacked over the head... or does the suffocation happen by having them overcrowded on the boats?

I think farmed fish are sprayed with pesticides and such, so I think it pollutes quite a bit, and they're in their pens so tightly that there's a concentration of refuse. Not pleasant.

We have a couple goats and some chickens, but they're happy, and will have had pleasant lives at the end of them.

Yes, i find it strange to be selectively vegetarian. I prefer to eat meat, but make as many better choices about it as possible, including raising my own.

If you think about the thousands of fish ships scoop out of the ocean, how would they whack them on the head? No, they die slowly of suffocation.

I guess I'm just thinking of much smaller operations... that's disgusting!
