I don’t need to jump in a lake for the same reason I don’t need to operate a farm. It is equally moral if others do it for me, so I buy wild fish and vegetables from my grocery just like most people.

Also, pure veganism isn’t necessary. For example, honey is not vegan but producing honey likely kills fewer animals than producing almonds. Beekeeping might even be a net positive given the benefits to the ecosystem at large

Ok, so you only eat the not farmed grocery shop fish and besides that you live vegan from the farmed grocery vegetables?

I think that is the best way to avoid unnecessary animal deaths (honey is also on that list).

It is something I often consider when shopping, but I don’t always try to minimize unnecessary animal deaths. Just as I generally try to avoid big box stores and products made in certain countries, but sometimes buy those things anyway.

Why do I make exceptions? Because I don’t believe that every single thing I do needs to be aimed at improving the world. It is simply an aspiration.

Maybe you would more of a impact on others if you decide to stop support the killing. I do shitpost sometimes, it be like that. But I also try to inform others. The point is not that you will change the world alone, but maybe convince others. If avoiding unnecessary deaths is your aspiration you can be a example to others.
