A diver has died after an attack by a suspected 4.5-meter shark near Michaelmas Island. It is the third fatal shark attack in Australia in three weeks.

Spear fishing, or any traditional fishing method, forr food, is about as ethical as it gets. It’s a pretty even field. You’re out of your element, and using muscle power, while exerting yourself, while running out of oxigen.
Trawling and other intensive methods are not.
Bow hunting large animals, especially boar, which can be dangerous as all fuck, is also fine by me. Shooting small game with fucking 12 gauge, is not.
Fine by you does not mean fine by the animal. It’s not “about as ethical as it gets”. That’s completely delusional. Exercising and holding your breath does not factor into the ethics of needless killing.
Killing plants is unethical.
sure sweetie
What? They’re alive. It’s been shown they communicate. They’re a LOT more sophisticated than people think.
I’m sure this is a belief you seriously hold with great conviction. It just happens to only come up when you’re confronted with the cruelty of killing and eating sentient animals
Just like you won’t, in any way whatsoever, entertain the idea that eating plants is unethical. Your convictions on the matter are so strong that you simply won’t consider that they, too, are living beings.
When did I state that plants aren’t alive? They are not sentient. That’s a different thing. Even if they were sentient, it wouldn’t change the fact that we need to eat plants to survive. We do not need to eat animals. And we cause fewer plant deaths by eating them directly, rather than indirectly through eating organisms of higher trophic levels.
My rejection of your argument based on its merits is not a failure to consider it.
