Meet your meal: FISH



Here's an animals I know you don't commonly think of as being abused. FISH!
Aqua farms squander resources—it can take 5 pounds of wild-caught fish to produce just 1 pound of farmed fish—and pollute the environment with tons of fish feces, antibiotic-laden fish feed, and diseased fish carcasses.
Fish on aqua farms spend their entire lives in cramped, filthy enclosures, and many suffer from parasitic infections, diseases, and debilitating injuries. Conditions on some farms are so horrendous that 40 percent of the fish may die before farmers can kill and package them for food. In short, fish farms bring suffering and ecological devastation everywhere they go.

"We don't take what Mother Nature throws at us. This is a factory for fish."
—Bill Evans, Vice President of Mariculture Systems, Inc., Salmon-farming company

THINK ABOUT IT!
