Change My Mind

Yeah, even jellyfish.

Of course they do. How do they swim, feed, sting you?
Their movements aren't random, they're in response to stimuli.

And reflex requires what in order to act?

Anyways, brains merely get in the way, just ask a Trumpite.

haha

Ok, maybe they don't but wouldn't it be bad to deliberately kill them? What d'you think about fish being sentient?

I agree that fish are sentient. Can I just ask why d'you think it's ok to kill a fish for food but not for fun, if you also believe that they're sentient? What is the difference, morally? In terms of the facts, fish actually take an hour to die when caught and that when they're line-caught, the hook goes through the most sensitive part of their body, so, as we can see, fish are most definitely sentient, as we both agreed.

Why is it morally different to kill a fish for fun vs killing a fish for food, when we don't need it and the result is the same?

How is the result i.e. death of a sentient being not the same? Did you know that many, many fish are now contaminated with high levels of mercury and that, due to the waste spills from animal agriculture into the ocean, fish ingest faeces? Do you think that we need fish to survive, when there are millions of people who've survived without eating fish and other animal products?
Also, I'm not against other animals in the wild eating other animals. It is not immoral because these animals like lions cannot physically consume plants and have no moral agency. 75% of the animal kingdom are herbivores, including our closest relatives, apes.
Lions and tigers also rape each other and kill their own young. Would we justify doing this to humans, just because other animals do it in the wild?

So plant lives don't matter? They do sense their enviroment and react to various stimuli, even demonstrate memory.

During their breeding season, as much as 65% of chimp diets is meat. Without it, the females would not be to reproduce in a healthy manner.

Lions and tigers do NOT rape anything. Male lions only kill the young of other males whose prides they've taken over.
