In Europe, about 74 million tons of marine animals worth 120 billion euros are raised in aquaculture. An Italian organization, “Essere Animali “, wanted to know under what conditions.
And what they found is scary!!
With hidden cameras they have discovered farms similar to those for meat, millions of fish locked up in cages, manipulated and transported as if they were objects. They are not even allowed to stun before death: they are left agonized for long minutes. That of fish is a silent suffering on which it is urgent to intervene.
The EU Commission in a report in March 2018 stated that there are serious abuses in the factory farming of fish (aquaculture).
But EU sees no further need to protect fish!
The Commission justifies this by saying that “the welfare of fish could also be achieved through ‘voluntary measures, as demonstrated by the industry’s improvements in recent years” (!!)

Recently, Dolphin Project had the opportunity to speak with Ren Yabuki of the Life Investigation Agency (LIA). LIA focuses on the representation of animals in Japan. We met Ren for the first time in the 2016/17 dolphin hunt season when he came to Taiji to find out about the problems of the prison industry in Japan.
He says: “When the news reports on the subject matter, they are very biased and do not accurately portray the available information. The media tends to hide and cover up information for the Japanese people by never telling the full truth”.
The suppression of freedom of speech and of the press is a broad phenomenon when it comes to the truth about the crimes against animals.
Paul Sethe, a German publicist and journalist said many years ago: “Press freedom is the freedom of two hundred rich people to spread their opinions.”

At dawn on Tuesday morning (Feb. 12), 15 animal welfare activists gathered at the parking lot on which the livestock truck was parked. After sighting the animals, the thirsty pigs were supplied with water by the activists. Also documented was missing litter. The poor animals had to stand for hours on hard, ice-cold metal and lie.
Nevertheless, the police started arresting us, instead of controlling the van!!
Because it is organizationally more convenient, a livestock truck from a Lower Austrian company goes to porkers every Monday evening to load animals. The immediate destination is not the slaughterhouse, but a parking lot.
There are about 200 pigs crammed together in a confined space then simply turned off, also without litter and without water. The pigs were parked at 9pm on the night before and then left to their own fate! The last night they experienced, they froze and scared themselves in this parking lot!
The driver drives home and goes to sleep!!
The pigs scream all night long. Only in the morning does he come back and the completely exhausted animals continue their journey to the slaughterhouse. This scenario is repeated week after week, according to witnesses for weeks, maybe for years!
