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

But then who are we to not spawn as many fish as possible, to maximize this good called a fish’s life? What if we kill the fish without pain or warning, and cause two new fish to be born. Does it pay for the killing of the fish?
