"Humanely" killing fish doesn't mean much when they demonstrably don't feel pain the way we do: they have little or no C-type neurofibres which humans need to feel pain, and they continue swimming normally when there is a hole in their fin.
If by that you mean killing birds and mammals... then do you also think harming humans is ethical?

That being the ultimate cruelty.Well, yes, but if the farmed animals are already being killed, then we should at least ensure it's done humanely.
