They have no concept of slavery, and cannibalism not unknown in nature. Disney's always done a great job of anthropomorphizing animals to the point that people now feel guilty about eating food that they have been eating for thousands of years.

However, it's true that farmed fish are an environmental disaster. Likewise, overfishing has killed off the Grand Banks and many other sources of free, sustainable, and environmentally-friendly proteins.
But fish doesn't cause global warming and use up other people's grain the way meat-eating does.

Vegetarianism predates Walt Disney by several thousand years.

Pants-of-dog wrote:Bottom trawling, to catch fish in the wild, is devastating for the marine environment. Fishing is usually done with boats that burn fossil fuels. Moreover, fish has to be transported in freezer trucks, which use more energy than regular trucks. Also fish is not locally available everywhere, meaning that it must be transported (using fossil fuels) over larger distances. Locally produced, organic, ruminant meat is far more eco-friendly.QFT
