I understand when people speak about the ethical problems with eating meat, but I think they do not apply to fish.

If fish could eat you do you believe they would think it's unethical?

If you answer it's yes then don't eat fish.

If a fish ate me, I wouldn't find it unethical at all.

I feel the same about cows, chickens and pigs.

I mean undesirable and unethical are not the same thing. I wouldn't really even place an ethical question on a fish, unless maybe they live in an aquarium and know better or something (like eating their handler, assuming living conditions are good). Not even moral questions really, though a hungry fish is probably acting pretty morally to meet its base needs TBH.

That said, if there was a neck-snapper-fish I'm pretty sure people would seek it out. And they'd say stuff like live by the fish, die by the fish.

I will go to swim with sharks to see if they talk about if eating me it's ethical or not.

I mean if I was in the ocean and a shark just wanted to grab a bite to eat that's just fine. I can't really swim anyways so I guess that'd be preferable. Just as long as they're quick about it.

Also I hear sharks are really smooth, so that's nice.
