Mexico- brutal treatment of fish in aquaculture industry

Latest news and updates from Animal Equality

This new investigation exposes the suffering of fish that have no protections under Mexican law.

Animal Equality infiltrated tilapia farms in Mexico for the first time and uncovered the suffering of these animals at the hands of aquaculture due to the lack of laws protecting them from cruelty.

ASFIXIADOS: LA CRUEL INDIFERENCIA HACIA LOS PECES EN MÉXICO

In Mexico, according to the National Service of Health, Safety and Agri-Food Quality of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, there are no “Mexican Official Standards or other regulations that regulate the sanitary processing of fish meat and other aquatic animals.”
And the National Commission of Fisheries and Aquaculture (CONAPESCA) claims that they leave them to die of asphyxiation out of the water despite evidence that the fish feel pain.

Our investigators documented shocking scenes showing the cruel practices, including:

-baby fish handled violently, killed by being crushed by the weight of others and, like the females, discarded as they are not considered economically profitable;

-up to 400 kg of fish packed into the same container and crushed against each other;

-cannibalism: In one of the farms, the operators mentioned that the fish had not been fed for at least 6 months, so they began to eat each other;

-how injured fish are thrown into the trash or used as food for other animals;

-witnessing the larger 2-4 year old fish being left on the floor to die from suffocation;

-switching fish from one tank to another over a 6-8 hour period, during which they kept the fish with little oxygen, exposed to direct sunlight and with so little water that they could barely change position or move around.

Killed While Fully Conscious

In addition to the deplorable hygienic and sanitary conditions in which the fish are forced to live in the farms investigated, it is common practice in the industry for them to be killed without being stunned.

Only in one farm did they try to do so using ice, but with an inadequate method that only prolonged the stress and suffering of these sensitive animals.

Similarly, their organs are removed while they are still conscious, and even after this, some show signs of life such as opening their mouths, expanding their gills and wriggling.

Fish Feel

According to Dr. Lynne Sneddon, Director of Bioveterinary Sciences at the University of Liverpool, fish experience pain on a level comparable to mammals.
And behaviorally, they also exhibit some of the same traits as mammals: forming relationships, remembering their own actions, making decisions (i.e. evaluating risks and benefits), expressing emotions (experiencing positive and negative affective states) and also having some level of consciousness.

Despite this evidence, fish have no legal protections in Mexico.
In fact, the Federal Animal Health Law does not even recognize them as animals and the norms that establish methods of transport, stunning and slaughter do not apply to them.

“The practices that are applied to fish for breeding and consumption would be considered illegal if they were used with land-raised animals such as cows and pigs, yet they are practiced regularly and there is no legislation to prevent it”.
(Dulce Ramirez, Director of Igualdad Animal México)

ASFIXIADOS: LA CRUEL INDIFERENCIA HACIA LOS PECES EN MÉXICO

Unlike other countries where there are laws that do not allow fish to be subjected to cruel treatment, in Mexico there is no regulation on fish welfare, neither mandatory nor voluntary certifications.
Leaving the fish in the hands of people who are not trained properly or trained on the specific needs of species, means more immense suffering for these animals.

Even if their moans and cries of pain cannot be heard by us, it is clear that fish feel pain and do not want to suffer.

And I mean…The life of the fish is difficult for us to understand because their world is alien to us.
We rarely see them as individuals, but mostly speak of them as mass, which is given in kilograms and tons.

Fish cannot scream or show their pain sensations in any other way.

Whether from aquaculture breeding or as caught in water it makes no difference: in most countries there are no legal regulations on how fish are to be treated and killed.

The focus here is only on the benefits for humans associated with the exploitation of non-human animals. The main aim is to breed as many fish and aquatic animals as possible for consumption and to keep costs as low as possible.
This leads to an indifference to the interests of these living beings, who have to lead a miserable, unreasonable life and die a cruel death.

In breeding farms, a large number of fish is usually kept in a very small space, the available space is minimal and in some cases consists of only one cubic meter of water per fish.

Fish farming in aquaculture causes unspeakable suffering. According to the Fishcount organization, between 51 and 167 billion fish are raised and killed on aquaculture farms each year.

And this despite the fact that science has long proven that fish feel stress and pain in a similar way to mammals, birds and reptiles.

Industrial fishing as well as aquaculture have catastrophic effects on the environment too.
Aquaculture means nothing else than factory farming under water. It contaminates the water with ammonia, nitrates and parasites.

Fishing is devastating for the marine ecosystem.
The gigantic trawlers’ nets destroy much of the marine life.
40% of the marine animals fished are considered useless “bycatch” and are simply thrown back into the water – dead or seriously injured.

Many stocks have already been used up or are about to run out.

Ethical and ecological reasons prohibit the consumption of fish.

Let us let the animals live in peace and let us not contribute to the destruction of the marine life for a culinary delight.

Of all things life is the measure!

Glass Walls

“No skin, just bones. Left by owner to suffer until death. What do you think? Is there a crime here? And why isn’t there a law against it?” (Text-Glass Walls)

What I think…We owe the first step in downgrading animals to the commodity level to the theory and conviction of the Church.

“Animals have no soul, animals only have instincts and are therefore automatically not the same as humans who have mind and soul – given by God” !!

Much earlier, in ancient Greece, the philosopher Protagoras created the saying, which is still highly valued today: “Of All Things Man Is The Measure”! which every idiot still considers the manifesto of human rights today.

In the Middle Ages, the existence of animals was under catastrophic conditions.
The animal hater and philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650) gave “spiritual” support to the laboratory experimenters for the cruelest animal torture of all time with his insane saying “Cogito ergo sum”.

With which he wanted to signal nothing else than that the animals are senseless and numb reflex automatons and their screams of pain when psychopaths slash them alive in the laboratory, like the squeak of a machine should be viewed.

If we want to claim today that we have developed in art, mathematics, medicine, architecture and, last but not least, in animal welfare, we should not regard animals as commodities, and certainly not treat them as such.

That would actually be the sign that we have developed spiritually and morally.

But we still don’t do that.
Because we are still depriving animals of their rights today, in the 21st century

In this sense we have not moved essentially from the Middle Ages, and like Protagoras – although there are over 2,500 years in between – we are still of the fascist conviction that “Of All Things Man Is The Measure”!
The measure of all things is not man; it is the life!

We are a species of torturer.
A disgusting malformation of evolution.

New Zealand plans to become a smokefree nation!

New Zealand plans to increase the purchase age for cigarettes in a bid to become a “smokefree nation”.

The Smokefree Action Plan introduced by the government on Thursday plans to slowly increase the purchase age from 18 currently to 21 or 25 by 2025.

But not overnight, but first of all, smoking cigarettes is no longer possible only for under 14-year-olds.
And then every year the age limit increases by exactly one year.
So those who currently smoke can all continue to do so without any problems.
But future generations won’t start with it.
Nicotine addiction should therefore not even arise.
Most people inevitably develop an addiction to nicotine while smoking; few people are genetically immune to it.

The government argued this will make it harder for teenagers under the age of 18 to be exposed to older pupils who smoke and to access cigarettes, citing research that states that 80% of smokers start before the age of 18 while nearly 97% start before they turn 25.

“This is a historic day for the health of our people,” Associate Minister of Health Dr Ayesha Verrall said in a statement.

“We want to make sure young people never start smoking so we will make it an offence to sell or supply smoked tobacco products to new cohorts of youth. People aged 14 when the law comes into effect will never be able to legally purchase tobacco,” she added.

Other measures the government wants to roll out to curb smoking include reducing the number of shops allowed to sell tobacco products; decreasing nicotine levels in smoked tobacco products to make them less addictive and help people quit; and banning the sale of cigarettes with filters as some people who smoke are “under the misconception that filters mitigate the harm of smoking.”

“Smoking rates continue to head in the right direction but there is a lot more mahi (work) ahead of us,” Population Health and Prevention Group Manager Jane Chambers said.

“Smoking kills approximately 4,500 to 5,000 people every year in New Zealand – that is around 12 to 13 deaths every day due to smoking or exposure to second-hand smoke. Smoked tobacco products take too many lives, and the impacts disproportionately affect Māori and Pacific people.”

“We must move swiftly and strategically to address these marked inequities and the disastrous impacts of smoked tobacco products so tamariki (children), rangatahi (young people) and our future generations are protected from harm” she added.

The Action Plan notes that most of the measures being considered have not been tested elsewhere and that New Zealand would be the first country in the world to introduce them.

The bill will be put before Parliament in mid-2022 and if passed, could come into effect on January 1, 2023.

https://www.euronews.com/2021/12/09/new-zealand-to-ban-future-generations-from-buying-cigarettes-in-bid-to-become-smokefree-na

And I mean…There are already a lot of critical to angry comments against such bans, mainly with the argument: Ultimately, people’s freedom is restricted!!
“A state that treats its citizens with prohibitions instead of education meets with skepticism and resistance” is the basic reaction.

From the comments in German forums:
– “We do not need (and I want) no government that educates responsible citizens”!
– “… people have a right to self-determination …”
– “I detest it when such prohibitions encroach on a person’s personal sphere”.

What do you think of New Zealand’s law, dear readers, that increases the minimum smoking age year after year?

I mean .. Our freedom has been looking pretty bad since Corona.
Because not everyone and not in time fought for the values ​​that define freedom.
But woe oh woe, if someone wants to pass a meaningful law for the next generations, then every hobby revolutionary stylizes himself as a courageous freedom fighter in the fight against the dictatorship of the smoking ban.

I am for the smoking ban.

Netherlands: ‘Dutch highly eurosceptic!’ Nexit calls erupt as only 10 percent of Dutch want more EU.

 

‘Dutch highly eurosceptic!’ Nexit calls erupt as only 10 percent of Dutch want more EU (msn.com)

‘Dutch highly eurosceptic!’ Nexit calls erupt as only 10 percent of Dutch want more EU

Euroscepticism is growing in the Netherlands, despite a lack of debate in the media over the EU’s role in the country, according to EU expert Gabriel van de Bloemfontein. The Nexit Denktank researcher told Express.co.uk that only 10 percent of Dutch people now believe more EU integration is needed.

Mr van de Bloemfontein argued that anti-Brexit scaremongering reports might have lowered the number of people believing the Netherlands is better off outside the EU.

But he added that, according to recent polls, 40 percent of Dutch people still want out, which is “quite high” considering the lack of debate, he said.

He said: “In 2016, 2017, polls showed that there was a majority in the Netherlands for leaving.

“After that, it has declined a bit. I can’t really explain why maybe because of the project fear making people scared in the media.

“But right now, I saw a poll of a Dutch public broadcast company, and they showed that around 40 percent would like to leave the EU, which is not low at all without any campaign going on.

“And recently, the news are all about coronavirus. Even at the last elections, not one bit was discussed about the EU.

eu news nexit netherlands eu referendum

“So I think it’s actually quite hight. Despite the scary stories we constantly hear.

“What’s even more interesting is that it also shows that only 10 percent of the Dutch people want more EU integration, which is very low.

“But yet it still happens. But this is a promising statistic.

“It shows that the Netherlands is actually very eurosceptic.”

In 2005, the Netherlands, like France, voted in a consultative referendum on the Treaty establishing a constitution for Europe.

Official results say that 61.6 percent of voters rejected the Constitution, on a turnout of 63.3 percent.

Last month, Royal Dutch Shell said it would scrap its dual share structure and move its head office to Brexit Britain from the Netherlands, pushed away by Dutch taxes and facing climate pressure in court as the energy giant shifts from oil and gas.

The company, which long faced questions from investors about its dual structure and had recently been hit by a Dutch court order over its climate targets, aims to drop “Royal Dutch” from its name – part of its identity since 1907 – to become Shell Plc.

The Anglo-Dutch firm has been in a long-running tussle with the Dutch authorities over the country’s 15 percent dividend withholding tax, which Shell sought to avoid paying with its two share classes. Its new structure would resolve that issue.

In a further knock to its relations with the Netherlands, the biggest Dutch state pension fund ABP said last month it would drop Shell and all fossil fuels from its portfolio.

The move infuriated Nexit campaigners who were quick to blame the Dutch government’s submission to the EU for Shell’s decision.

Nexit Denktank representatives wrote: “Shell moves to the United Kingdom and becomes fully British on paper. Very unfortunate for the Netherlands, but were we not told in 2016 that all companies would leave the UK due to Brexit? Another lie.

“In 2002, when the euro was introduced, the British were also warned that all companies would leave if they did not adopt the euro as their national currency. That was also a lie. The EU and the euro are not necessary to attract companies.

“The real proof is in the relocations of Shell and Unilever, which are among the largest companies in the world. They wouldn’t leave the Netherlands for the UK if they didn’t take advantage of that. We don’t need the EU, we need a good trade agreement.

“So we are again losing a piece of Dutch pride and history because our Europhile cabinet was more concerned with undermining Brexit than with the interests of the Netherlands. Our government cares about the interests of the EU, not the interests of the Netherlands.

“According to Rutte, we can close the port of Rotterdam, we will lose all our jobs and our economy will collapse if we leave the EU. It’s all scaremongering and EU propaganda. Such things don’t happen in the UK. Shell is the reality NOW.

“We are losing prestige because of the EU. In the long run, it turns out that we can’t do anything ourselves. The unelected bureaucrats in Brussels determine everything for us. The British can have their own policy. Stop believing the scaremongering and EU propaganda. Nothing bad is going to happen after Nexit.”

UK: ‘UK’s largest ever’ bird flu outbreak reported in Northern Ireland.

‘UK’s largest ever’ bird flu outbreak reported in Northern Ireland

The cases were identified in a commercial poultry flock of 14,000 birds near Markethill in County Armagh and a commercial duck flock of 22,000 in Coagh, County Tyrone.

Disease control measures including the humane culling of the affected birds have been put in place.

Two positive cases were confirmed earlier this month in each of the counties, at Aughnacloy and Broughshane.

Chief veterinary officer Dr Robert Huey has called on flock keepers to “urgently review” their biosecurity measures.

“Unfortunately notifiable avian influenza is strongly suspected in two further commercial flocks in Northern Ireland,” he said.

“This is now not only the largest ever outbreak of HPAI in the UK but also in Northern Ireland and we must do all we can to protect our flocks, protect our businesses and protect the economy.

“I cannot stress enough how important it is that flock keepers reassess all of their biosecurity measures immediately.”

About half a million birds have been culled so far, according to UK chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss, who said there were 38 infected premises in England, Scotland and Wales.

‘We cannot afford to be complacent’

Northern Ireland Agriculture Minister Edwin Poots warned a “critical point” had been reached in managing the outbreak.

“This strain of H5N1 spreads quickly and could wipe out an entire flock in a matter of days,” he said.

“I am urging all bird keepers to proactively assess your current biosecurity measures and redouble your efforts to keep this disease out of your flocks.

“We cannot afford to be complacent and must act now to protect our flocks.”

Temporary control zones (TCZs) have been introduced at the sites of suspected cases and samples have been sent to the National Reference Laboratory for testing.

If avian flu is confirmed, the TCZs will be replaced with a three-kilometre protection zone and 10km surveillance zone.

Some 22,100 ducks were culled earlier this month after the bird flu case in Aughnacloy, with the same measured applied to the “small backyard flock” in Broughshane.

Flock owners will receive compensation for their lost livestock.

Formula 1 sponsors the Iditarod animal abusers

IDITAROD – The gruesome Dog race in Alaska is sponsored by Formula 1!
Every year in Alaska the cruel dog race “Iditarod” takes place, in which dogs are tortured, mistreated, neglected, injured and also killed.
If the animals are no longer suitable for competition, they are often simply ruthlessly murdered.

(We reported about it): https://worldanimalsvoice.com/2021/01/22/exxonmobil-ends-sponsorship-of-the-brutal-iditarod/

What very few people know, however, is that this horror race is sponsored by “Liberty Media”, the owners of Formula 1.
Despite the departure of all major sponsors, “Liberty Media” and its sub-company GCI are subsidizing the death race with more than $ 250,000 annually.

One might think that through leading personalities like Lewis Hamilton, who lives vegan and loves dogs, ethics and morals dominate Formula 1, but that is a fatal misconception.
With their help, dogs are exploited, tortured and killed, and all of this is completely legal.

On the one hand, we condemn this terrible race itself and, on the other hand, the sponsorship by Formula 1 in the most decisive fashion.
Such competitions without empathy must be deprived of the breeding ground, i.e. the financial means.
Instead, they are pumping a large amount of money into the competition.
For us a shame that casts a gloomy shadow over the entire Formula 1.

We appeal to “Liberty Media” to stop supporting animal cruelty and death with immediate effect and to make a public declaration for this madness, after all, as a sports organizer, you also have a great role model function.

Text: Gemeinsam für die Tiere (Together for the Animals)

Please everyone also sign the following petition to end this unholy sponsorship:
https://www.peta.de/aktiv/iditarod/

And I mean…It is not the first time that Formula 1 has supported a dubious business.
There has already been a shameful decision to reopen the Grand Prin in Bahrain (a kind of colony of Saudi Arabia) in 2020 after the postponement of the Bahrain Grand Prix due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Grand Prix in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi followed

Even then it was clear that Formula 1 did not see the right reason to cancel the Barin Grand Prix because of the massive human rights violations.
Amnesty International had sent a very good letter to the Formula 1 leadership in 2020, in which it expressed that a country like Barin, which suffers from human rights violations, should not be supported.

The Formula 1 in Saudi Arabia last weekend is also an indictment for the organizers in a political sense.
Because apart from the internal disregards and violations of human rights, Saudi Arabia is mainly responsible for the worst humanitarian crisis in the world in Yemen.
So if Formula 1 has no moral and no political inhibitions to support dictators all over the world, how can we expect them to stop supporting the animal abusers of the Inditarod regime in Alaska?

We call for the end of the monkey trade on Mauritius #Week of Action#

Action for Primates is joining other animal protection groups across Europe in a Week of Action against the trade in long-tailed macaques for research from Mauritius.


During 6th-11th December, more than a dozen European animal groups are raising awareness by holding events and taking part in a social media campaign that will focus attention on the Mauritius government, embassies and tourism offices across Europe, calling for an end to the Mauritius trade in monkeys for research.

Below, you will find numerous actions you can take to help the monkeys from Mauritius.
Please try to do all and ask others to join in this important campaign.

Mauritius, famous for its beaches, tropical climate, heritage sites and wildlife, is a popular destination for European holidaymakers.

HPGJCT Monkeys at the Gorges viewpoint. Black River Gorges national park. Mauritius.

The country’s promotion as a “paradise island”, however, is tarnished by a dark side of which most holidaymakers are totally unaware: the country’s cruel persecution of the wild monkeys who share the island with the human residents.

Mauritius is one of the world’s largest exporters of long-tailed macaques for the global research and toxicity testing industry and the main supplier to Europe, exporting thousands every year.

There has been a significant increase in the number of monkeys exported during 2021. Between January and September, 10,810 individuals were sent overseas to laboratories, including 1,913 (Spain), 758 (France), 642 (UK), 109 (Netherlands), 112 (Canada) and 7,276 (USA).
This represents an increase of over 58% for the same period during 2020. Supply companies – Camarney SL in Spain and Silabe (Simian Laboratory Europe) in France – are known to regularly import many of these monkeys for breeding or for sale to laboratories in Europe.

The monkeys are packed into small transit crates and transported from Mauritius as cargo by air.
Air France is the main airline known to be involved in transporting monkeys from Mauritius to Europe.
Other airlines that fly monkeys out of Mauritius to other destinations include Safe Air (Kenya-based) and Wamos Air (Spanish-based).

After France and Great Britain, Germany is the largest European “ape consumer”.

England: Remember ‘Geronimo’ The Alpaca, and The Government Ministry Who Murdered Him Under Claims He Had BVT. Now Post Mortem Tests Find He Did NOT. And The Public Are Supposed To Believe Justification By Them In Government For A Badger Cull ? ! ? !

Geronimo ‘killed for nothing’ as campaigners claim post-mortem reveals animal did not have TB

Post-mortem tests on Geronimo the alpaca, who was euthanised by vets in August after testing positive for bovine tuberculosis, failed to provide conclusive findings of the animal’s health.

Geronimo was culled by government officials in August after his owner, Helen Macdonald lost a lengthy legal battle to stop the killing.

She insisted that the two previous bovine TB tests returned false positives and Geronimo should have been tested a third time or allowed to live to aid research into the disease.

The alpaca was put down after police officers and staff from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) arrived on Ms Macdonald’s farm in South Gloucestershire on 31 August.

At the time, Defra indicated the initial post-mortem had found a “number of TB-like lesions“, but further tests would be needed.

Middlemiss – CVO

Chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss said that after further tests, it was not possible to culture bacteria from tissue samples meaning that whole-genome sequencing could not be carried out.

“Due to the complexity of the disease, further testing has not enabled us to use whole-genome sequencing to try to understand how the animal became infected in the first place,” she said.

“It is important to remember that infected animals can spread the disease to both animals and people before displaying clinical signs, which is why we take action quickly to limit the risk of the disease spreading.”

Defra said the additional bacteria culturing process carried out is not used to validate previous test results, but instead to identify which strain of the disease is present and inform decisions on testing other animals in the herd.

Dominic Dyer, who had campaigned alongside Ms Macdonald to save Geronimo, said the post-mortem examination results showed the animal did not have bovine TB.

“We finally got the full post-mortem results and it’s clear this animal did not have TB,” he said.

“This case shows the level of incompetence, negligence and deceit on TB policy within Defra that goes back decades.

The Badger Cull – Government incompetence, negligence and deceit on TB policy within Defra that goes back decades.

“Helen was a scapegoat. The poor alpaca Geronimo was killed for absolutely nothing in the most brutal disgusting way in front of the world’s media.

“This is a shameful, shameful incident when it comes to the environment policy and TB policy in this country.

George (Useless) Eustice

“It’s about time that George Eustice took responsibility, and the prime minister firstly apologise to Helen, compensated her for all the pain and suffering she’s gone through and make sure that this never happens again.”
