sooo.. just a pet peeve

My brother gave up meat for Lent, so in essence he became a vegetarian for 40 days and nights. I of course way MUY excited, thinking maybe he'd stick with it and all, or even if he didn't at least for a little while he'd stop supporting the meat industry. Today, though, I caught him eating SHRIMP SCAMPI! Not only was I a little disapointed in him for breaking his religious commitment, I was also bummed that he was eating shrimp-because in theory he was indeed a vegetarian. He gave me this responce "I gave up meat, not fish." well, indeed dear brother you did say you'd give up meat, but is it just me, or is it INCREDIBLY annoying how vegetarians can say they're vegetarians because they're technically not eating meat? I personally believe a vegetarian isn't someone who doesn't eat meat, but someone who doesn't eat animals, and fish are animals. Pescetarians (fish eating "vegetarians") clearly aren't in it for the animals if they can justify suffocating fish, but not the various methods of killing mammals. It's just a little annoying that they call themselves vegetarians, when they're clearly not, and that they eat animals, whether they're technically meat or not; an animal is an animal no matter what scientific classification.
