What about dolphin?



Like most fake vegetarians, the policy apparently does not include any aquatic creatures like fish, squid, whales, or dolphins...even though the latter two are intelligent mammals with more capacity to feel pain than any type of poultry.


I really don't understand the moral argument for vegetarianism that excludes seafood. There are plenty of fish and marine invertebrates that are as smart/sentient/feeling as a chicken or cow. In many cases the environmental impact of their take is also much worse.


Squid are pretty smart, too, so probably should be included if one is using intelligence as a grounds for deciding what is food.


It's also already illegal to eat the latter two in the country in which WeWork operates.


WeWork operates in Tokyo as well.


Alligator might be an end around also :)
