In US news and current events today, this undercover footage at a Cooke Aquaculture factory farming fish facility shows a lack of animal rights but instead animal cruelty. Factory farming environments don't just affect cows, chickens, and pigs. Animal welfare is a big issue in the fish industry as well. Cooke Aquaculture is a division of True North which has partnered with Martha Stewart. Does this video make you want to switch to veganism (diet)?

Isn't the USDA suppost to shut down places like this if they are so filthy

[@pelagicdivision]

During the trump era? Are you kidding?! Trump is giving them awards for their cruelty and unsanitary conditions!

[@default.1.]

Actually sanitation is not a factor since there is a “limit” in other words the place literally has to be super filthy every day and maybe they get shut down. The way it works is the government will send private investigators and they will issue a warning for violations they committed and any unsanitary conditions. They will then give them a specific amount of time to fix the issue maybe like a couple weeks or months. After that they come back, re-evaluate the issues and pass. In America everything is a crime and you get a chance to prove you can change, whether it be for a couple months or years, you know what they say “money talks”.

This does not look safe to eat. The fish have to be sick from this treatment.

[@arcrides6841]

99.9% of animals people eat are terminally ill. They are merely kept alive long enough to get them to slaughter by the use of powerful antibiotics and other medications. Think cancer patient in a 3rd world prison on death row. That's their life. The mental stress alone is enough to create physical illness in the body. But on top of this they live in tiny cells that serves as their dining room, bedroom and toilet at the same time. They live not only in their own filth but surrounded by thousands of other animals also living in filth. And to make it even worse they mostly eat horrible grain based diets that often include chopped up "downer" animals. But yeah you're 100% right. It's very unsafe to eat sick animals. About 1 in 3 people gets cancer, 1 in 3 people gets heart disease, 1 in 3 people gets diabetes. And on and on the list goes. Humans are by far the sickest animals in nature. How many apes get heart disease or diabetes. Like 1 in a million. Virtually non existent.

STOP ALL CRUELTY JUST BY BEING VEGAN!

[@aabracadavra]

That's the only way. But the average human likes to find backdoors when their comfort and ignorance is being threatened. So they start looking for justifications for their actions by saying idiotic things like: _Lions eat other animals, too_ . (But they're against anything else that the lion does) _Animal based products are needed for a healthy diet_ . (But they have no problem eating junk food, and also it's been proven that you can live healthily on a well planned wfpb diet) _Plants feel pain_ . (Although the animals that they consume eat a lot more plant matter than the average human would. Therefore, supposedly causing pain to both animals and the plants that the animal consumes) After 7 years of being vegan, I can certainly say that this list is never ending. When I think I heard it all, some other convoluted and absurd argument appears from around the corner. Safe to say I haven't found one that couldn't be debunked.

I did some research on how fish experience pain about 6 or so years ago and from what I read their nervous system isn’t as complicated as ours and their brains don’t register pain as we do. We experience pain as an actually physical and emotional feeling that stays with us for the duration of lives, while they register it more like “hey there is something wrong I should avoid using/doing that for a while” type pain. They did mention a study by somebody I would like to read that peer review and further educate myself.

I have been working in salmon farms for 5 years now in Iceland and it is not like this. Of course guys like these exist in the world, but industry has nothing to do with this. We have guidelines and biosecurity rules, so noone is throwing around fish like this. Also, vaccination is not done because we try to prevent diseases to spreaxd further but to prepare their immune system before sending them to sea.

There’s literally no need for any of this. It’s 2021, just be Vegan 🌱 Stop the demand for this cruelty.

Well the US now imports that stuff from Chile and other places. Even some corrupt EU politicians banned that antibiotic filled stuff. Truly the US has the best politicians money can buy.

Idk if people know that this is the way fish are caught? Most suffocate or bleed to death, yet they taste so good!!!! Never going to give up eating fish.

[@ashleywilliams7954]

Okay you don't have to give it up but you can at least admit that this is horribly wrong and these living beings suffer greatly when they don't have to. The way we treat and kill fish is incredibly inhumane.

@@robertoortiz1210 Not just that. The way they keep them crowded together, the way they suffocate to death for hours, how little they clean and maintain the place, how they threw them... If you don't see any of that as a problem, I fear your mental state.

This is one of the reasons Indian ppl are vegetarians. Atleast when you are a carrot, you know it didn't go thru pain & suffering for you to consume it. Less guilt. Now the company says they will fix the problem & it won't happen again. But what about the ppl who have been eating fish for most of their life? How can we possibly eat ethically sourced food that doesn't Cost an arm & a leg?

@NowThis News Excuse me, can you change the title of this video? Remove ' ' from the word cruel. It isn't a question if it's cruelty or a debate. It is cruelty. How dare you mock the suffering of living beings, accept that this is 100% wrong and remove that punctuation mistake at once.

[@chrisredd214]

Okay I’m sorry but as a person who has lived in extreme poverty this is terrible, but at the same time we have way bigger issues to deal with as a country and as a society. We should all be vegan yes. We should also not have to worry about a roof over our heads, or if we’ll have enough food to eat. Free the fish but it’s almost impossible to tackle issues like this until other human beings are not worried about their everyday lives. Come at me sideways if you want but tell me we should worry about fish cruelty more then kids starving and dying in places like New York or Chicago and some of the richest cities on the planet.

[@grmpEqweer]

No, I don't disagree with you. But I'm glad I've been vegan for a long time...first for health reasons, but the ethical reasons grew on me. I think most meat eaters block the cruelty out of their minds, you know? And a lot of meat production damages the environment too.

[@chrisredd214]

@dudley Doleft’s Channel. I agree with you. I eat meat and sometimes I do sicken myself with the consumption of meat seriously. I just feel like this issue sometimes gets more coverage then things like kid’s being killed (sometimes) or extreme poverty. I felt a little frustrated.

[@Emheart7]

It’s a sad truth& I agree with you. I think the only thing we ask is if we just respect these animals and stop being so narcissistic as a human race. but yes right now there are much more awful things we should fix and prioritize for sure

[@grmpEqweer]

@@chrisredd214 There's so much wrong with the world. I'm still looking for critical leverage on it. But to my mind, it does seem our current economic system actively rewards cruelty and punishes caring. Just a thought.

[@maryfinelli9390]

The thing is most people are contributing to animal abuse on a daily basis by eating animals. We can and should instead thrive on a vegan diet. There may not be all that much we can do about many problems in the world but we at least shouldn't be contributing to them.

[@mokushmasmo6009]

Kill your fish in a humane manner. I just wouldn’t kill a fish that didn’t have an opportunity since the start. Seems unfair, but life is, and it’s just me, so... I’ve came originally from a betta breeder who tried justifying the horrible conditions. No tanks cycled, rooms filled with 5 gallon jarring tanks, 2 inch breeding tubs, and repeat! It’s so sad.

[@thewarriorforce]

I can't imagine what they're doing to their gene strain with all the stress, fungal conditions, and vaccinations. It's already bad enough salmon are sensitive to subtle changes in their natural environment; this fishery disgraces their life history.
