Or better yet, when did a fish cease to be an animal?
I am a bit freaked out. I have been a vegetarian for over 6 years, and I have never heard (before Y!Answers) the idea of vegetarians EATING sea animals.
Vegetarians do not eat animals. Fish are animals. Vegetarians do not eat fish.
Having a name for people who do not eat any other animals than sea life is fine, but it has nothing to do with vegetarianism.
“ ANIMAL- noun
Etymology: Latin, from animale, ANIMATE,
1 : any of a kingdom of living things including many-celled organisms and often many of the single-celled ones (as protozoans) that typically differ from plants, and in having the capacity for Spontaneous Movement and motor responses to stimulation”
This isn’t completely rhetorical, and I expect to have people complain at me, but someone tell me what this about. When did this concept become taken seriously by vegetarians? How can a person who eats animals (have they fins or legs) be considered a vegetarian?
