I'm trying to find words, but it is a bit weird seeing people being so compassionate about an apex predator.

I'd lead instead with the fact that fishing is largely an ecological disaster.

It is like the argument against eating meat based entirely on killing being bad, but we can see that killing happens all over the place in nature. However, the problem is that we've gotten way too good at killing and need to practice a lot more restraint.

Humans are the most apex of apex predators... I hope that doesn't disqualify us from deserving compassion.

Yeah, that would be why words are nearly impossible in these kinds of subjects.
