May want to do some research into the industry - you're acting like they are humanely raised, when in reality they are pretty much tortured until eventually killed.

Well, when u say industry, ypu know they bred those animals as in raised and fed them. This is taking something from nature, I'll re-phrase that; plundering from nature recklessly with disregard of the consequences/ effect they have from their selfish actions. Have some sense.

I'm guessing you're a vegan then? The meat industry is far worse than some illegal fishing.
