It could be that semi-vegetarians consider fish and birds to be much lower forms of life. Someone who may feel uncomfortable eating a pig (a mammal) might still eat fish or chicken. And some people stop eating red meat for health reasons, not because they are concerned about animals. I became a semi-vegetarian in March. Hearing about the way animals are treated on big factory farms horrified me. At first, I still ate fish and poultry. I felt like a hypocrite, so I quit eating all meat. By the beginning of April, I was a vegetarian. I tried to be a vegan over the summer. I found myself unable to stick to a strict vegan diet though, so now I am somewhere between vegetarian and vegan.
