Are fish animals?

Question

Can you be a vegetarian if you eat fish?

Answer 1

To your first question the answer is yes!
The second question the answer is No!
Vegetarians DO NOT EAT ANIMALS!

Answer 2

Yes, fish belong to the animal kingdom. No, vegetarians do not eat animals. Ergo, vegetarians do not eat fish. Anyone who tells you differently needs to take Bio 101 again.

Answer 3

Yes to the first question. Since fish are not plants, they are animals.

No to the second question. The Catholic Church classified fish as "not meat" and some people are confused about that, but real vegetarians do not eat fish because it is an animal.

Abalone, who answered after me, must have flunked Biology class. The web site he offers doesn't say anything about vegetarians eating fish.
No they are not animals, (yes, they are, according to Biology) they are not warm blooded (not all animals are warm blooded. Only mammals and birds are warm blooded; reptiles, amphibians, fish and all other animals are not). It would be like calling a spider and animal. (A spider is an animal, so are insects, worms, crabs, snails, oysters, abalone etc.) And yes you can be a veg if you eat fish. (Not according to the dictionary)

Answer 4

A vegetarian will not eat fish or poultry, though some pseudo-vegetarians do. A fish has a central nervous system, which means it is capable of feeling pain. It has a brain, and is fully aware of it's own existence. However, they are not mammalian. So what if they don't have hair? So what if they don't SHOW the pain they feel in the same way we do?

They are living creatures, and killing them, or paying for them to be killed is horrendous.

Answer 5

Fish are animals true vegetarians do not eat fish.

Answer 6

Well, fish are animals, no doubt about that. You can check it up anywhere, but fish are surely animals.

Being vegetarian means not eating any animal flesh. Eating a fish would mean eating its flesh, and since fish are animals, vegetarians don't eat fish.
If they do, they're picky eaters.

Answer 7

According to Merriam-Webster fish are indeed animals! 1 a: an aquatic animal —usually used in combination b: any of numerous cold-blooded strictly aquatic craniate vertebrates that include the bony fishes and usually the cartilaginous and jawless fishes and that have typically an elongated somewhat spindle-shaped body terminating in a broad caudal fin, limbs in the form of fins when present at all, and a 2-chambered heart by which blood is sent through thoracic gills to be oxygenated.

And no, if you become a vegetarian you may not eat them. Please do not fall victim to the pesco-vegetarian thing....it's bs!
