Learn English – Single word for someone who does not eat mammal’s meat

single-word-requests

Is there a single descriptor for someone who eats anything (chicken, fish, insects, veggie burger,…) but just not any mammals (from the conviction that they are "to close to us" to serve as food). Not a compound something like pollo-pesco-ovo-etc-arian, but a single word?

Someone who does not eat mammals'meat is called mafist. Mafists are sometimes called pesco-pollo-tarians.

Pescetarian is someone who does not eat meat but eats fish.

Pescetarians eat the meat of fish and other non-mammalian sea creatures, but not of birds or reptiles, nor of mammals. Mafists avoid only the meat of mammals. They eat poultry and fish. (I guess they might also eat reptiles. [Yahoo Answers]
