> I eat cow while I'd be horrified to eat horse or dog.

Horse is good, and while they are noble and majestic, so are cows (which are also cute to boot). I think the same of fish, and while less cuddly, I still feel a tiny bit conflicted about taking one's life just to eat when I do it.

Dogs are family for me. I'd probably be OK with wolf or coyote or similar.

I don't begrudge anyone how they want to align their morals with how and what they eat.

Sure. I don't begrudge them either. I'm just pointing out that feeling of conflict. I think how we respond to that is important. And bringing it back to the original post, I think his MAGA fisherman just getting mad or changing the topic is an example of a bad way to handle it.
