I said no such thing. I said the supposed ethical problems with eating animals referenced by OP are not ones I think apply to most animals, and so it is ethical to eat them.
What “supposed” ethical problems are you referring to that you’re hand waving away then? That farm animals are cute? How about overfishing, destruction of marine environments, bycatch, pollution caused by and left in the sea by fishing, evidence that fish feel pain and that some are proven to have more complex intelligence than other animals.
That’s not really how ethical problems work. They are supposed to define why we should or shouldn’t do something. Even saying “nah dawg, fish tasty” would be more reasoning than you’ve provided.
You’ve not provided any reasons sufficient for me to consider eating fish or meat unethical. The issues you mentioned are ones I consider morally irrelevant to the ethical nature of eating these animals, and so I reject the claim that it is unethical.
I don’t think they apply to most animals either, so yes.
Hey everyone, this guy doesn’t believe in ethics so we can all do whatever we want!

All of the above.
So because eating fish has ethical problems it’s ethical to eat them?
Very well thought out.
Thanks, it’s difficult to have a discussion with people when they won’t actually engage in a discussion.
Very well thought out.
I do not believe there are any ethical problems to eating fish, or most other animals used for meat.

That is precisely how ethics works.
