A study by researchers from New York University and Yale University has found that we have little to no understanding whatsoever of the welfare needs of most species of farmed fish. While the way we treat animals in any kind of farm is redundant when they should not be there in the first place, this news perfectly demonstrates our disconnect with sentient beings who feel pain and have a capacity to experience suffering.

Ironically, the fishing industry is quite literally conspiring to head-off the bombshell that will hit them when the long-awaited and highly anticipated documentary Seaspiracy debuts next week. Thanks to Plant Based News for drawing attention to leaked documents provided to them, we now know the extent to which the industry is worried.
