I will care about the suffering of fish at the hands of humans once we end human suffering at the hands of other humans.

Is your empathy so small you cannot cope with 2 things at the same time, or you just don't care?

Little of A little of B, there are bigger issues that the possible suffering of fish, and in the long run I don’t care enough about the possible suffering of fish to change my diet choices.
