Just as fish don’t belong in tanks, insects don’t belong inside cramped cases in a museum for other villagers to gawk at.
Keep it that way!īlathers would like to build a museum of fish and insects on your island. Is it OK to catch bugs in Animal Crossing?įrom butterflies to wharf roaches, your island is a bustling home for various insects and other little animals. Your island should be a safe space for all animals, big and small. Instead of being recognized as the living, breathing, feeling individuals they are, they’re presented as forms of entertainment for the other villagers. It’s disappointing that a game in which villagers from all different species (from elephants and ducks to deer and pigs) coexist harmoniously with humans encourages abusive behavior toward fish and insects. Wildlife rehabilitators say that discarded fishing tackle is one of the greatest threats to aquatic animals. In the real world every year, anglers leave behind a trail of tackle victims that includes millions of birds, turtles, dolphins, and other animals who sustain debilitating injuries after they swallow fishhooks or become entangled in fishing lines. Tearing the wildlife right out of their ocean homes so that you can “donate” them to Blathers for museum exhibits is not only cruel but also bad for the environment. This is your island, and it’s your job to protect it. Sure, unlike in real life, the fish in the game don’t feel pain, but fishing is harmful to animals and the planet. Fishing isn’t vegan! You shouldn’t fish in real life, so you shouldn’t do so in the game, either. This vegan guide to it will help answer some of the tough ethical questions that it presents as well as give you an opportunity to help real animals while living your island life. With everyone self-isolated at home and finding themselves on social media more than ever, by now, you’ve probably heard about Nintendo’s new game, Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
