Besides, who gives a shit if it's "wild caught" or not? So it's fine if they eat a cat if it's "farmed", but not if it's wild? God damn people annoy me.

There's a huge difference. "Wild caught" animals are part of the ecosystem. You know, the web of life, where everything is connected. You tamper with one area of the web enough by over fishing or whatever, and the whole web starts to fall apart. But with farm grown, you have a meat supply that is isolated from the web of life. You can eat to your heart's content without having such a huge impact.

Sure, you have industrial type waste to deal with when you have so much manure like they have in beef or pork feed lots, but it's not as bad as overfishing and causing an entire species to almost go extinct.

Big difference. (Although admittedly not to the creature being eaten. The creature being eaten would probably rather be wild, not farmed.)
