I’m not on either side of the argument, but would guess a good argument would be that fish need to eat other fish in order to survive as it’s their only source of food. We don’t. Provenly.
We still need to eat someone
Are you sure?
Yeah, until we evolve to consume light directly, we'll be processing some other organics.
Imo harm does not equal to kill. A fish with limited imagination cannot be harmed if his life just ends and he does not feel anything.
Can the same be said about people? How do we judge imagination of a fish? If we don't understand what they feel is it because of their lack of imagination or ours?
To be fair, he's technically not wrong, exactly as you pointed out - if your life just ends instantly, be it fish or human, they won't feel or think jack shit.
