Its a bad comparison. Breeding or harvesting an animal is not the same. They provide different suffering for the animals and different pressures on different biotopes. Its very much like the old soviet whataboutism when pressured on their domestic suppression: "well in the US they lynch people". Meat production in US might be bad, but its not a defense for overfishing the Atlantic.
