You do. You eat fish. Fish are animals.

Why do you insist on labeling yourself something you clearly are not?
Why is that so important to you - you evidently have no problem eating
the flesh of fish - why not own up to it? You're not a vegetarian if
you eat even a molecule of animal flesh. Sorry, you're simply NOT a
vegetarian, and it's just ludicrous to keep insisting you are when you
clearly - by definition - are not.
