Syndee Brinkman:

I went snorkeling and noticed how gently the fish
welcomed us into their world as compared to the violence
with which we welcomed them into ours. I became a vegetarian.

By a Tang poet: Fish

Walking around the pond,
I watch the fish swim about.
Yonder a young lad lets down
The hook on his fishing rod.
You could say we share a love for fish,
But with different aims in mind.
I came to feed these aquatic beings;
He came to take their lives.
