It also bothers me that the so many of the animals saved are fish; they dominate the weighted mean, have very different lifespans from chickens, and to the best of my knowledge cannot be ‘factory farmed’ in the same way. (It seems to me that fish farms are much more like their natural habitat than chicken farms are like their natural habitat, but that may be mistaken.)
Well, they can move more, but on the other hand they tend to pollute each others’ environment in a way that terrestrial farmed animals do not, meaning that not all commercially fished species can survive being farmed with modern techniques, and those which can are not necessarily safe for humans to eat in the same quantities.
