They couldn't care less about the lives of the fish or their sustainability. They would happily and greedily eat the last fish, then have no clue why there are no more. Only humans have this sense of empathy toward other species. It would make me happy to think that had peaceful and pleasant lives. But that isn't always going to be the case in to days world.
If it would make you happy, I recently heard that some scientists are trying to develop a way to have meat producing animals not develop into a full blown cow or pig, but just grow the "meat". No awareness, no pain or pleasure. Just meat. Sounds weird, but?

I totally agree with you about the cat…and nature in general. Far more brutal than it seems at first glance. Nearly every animal will have a very traumatic death in nature. We have the ability to provide a decent quality of life and an almost stress free death to the animals that provide us meat. I hope it happens that way most of the time but there is no easy way to be sure given the current lack of transparency in the industry.
As for the lab grown meat or whatever it is called….I’m kinda all for it as long as it’s as healthy as “normal meat” (if that makes any sense lol) I would really love some totally guilt free bacon someday!
