Someone once told me "meat is murder, but fish is justifiable homicide". I hope that helps.

Ever since a chicken killed my pet hamster, my name has been vengeance and Popeyes has been my hunting grounds.

Man, I have religious people in my family that say "you can't eat meat on Fridays" during lent. But then fish is 100% okay to them. Makes no sense to me.

That rule might not come from English language and what was translated to "meat" doesn't necessarily mean all animal flesh. Even English has words like "beef" and "pork" and "poultry", "red meat" etc.

If you want to gotcha lawyer culture or religion, you'll need the actual sources. I'd suggest avoiding that, since it will just make you behave like an asshole.
