Farming land animals is a lot easier than farming fish. We’ve also had a lot longer to perfect the art of farming animals, as up until relatively recently, there have been enough fish in the sea that we haven’t particularly needed to breed them.

When we farm animals, what we’re doing is artificially inflating and sustaining the population so that we can eat them. Land animals we don’t typically farm, like deer, are being depleted just like fish are, because we kill them faster than they can make new ones. If we made new ones for them, that’d be farming.
