Fischerian (Fiskerianer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fiskerianer (Fischerian) is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of seafood or any other forms of food derived from creatures living in or below water.

Fischerianism may be adopted for various reasons. Many people object to eating water- or seafood out of respect for sentient life. Such ethical motivations have been codified under animal rights advocacy. Other motivations for fisherianism are health-related, political, environmental, cultural, aesthetic, economic, or personal preference.

The origination of the term appears to be a person by the name of Joakim Hoeydal from what we know. Category:Definition Category:Term
