CULTIVATING COMPASSION
lem. A vast percentage of the wild catch is used as food for farmed fishes, shrimps, and other farmed animals. Farmed fishes are kept in stressful con- ditions and often infested with sea lice that can transmit to wild fishes. Aqua- culture is also heavily polluting. Seafood certification systems don’t tend to take animal welfare into con- sideration, and their effectiveness has been called into question. Mislabeling of seafood has been found to be wide- spread. Nonhuman animals are not the sole victims of the seafood industry. Hu- man slavery is rampant in it, with men and boys tricked onto ships and kept at sea for months or years. The catch from these ships is largely untraceable, and much of it is sold here. While there may have been a time when eating fish and other animals was a necessity for survival, thankfully that is no longer the case for most of us. All of the nutrients we need in order to thrive can be obtained more health- fully, humanely, and environmentally responsibly from plant sources. For those who like seafood, there are marvelous vegan versions of virtually every type imaginable. New products are continually being developed, and increasingly can be found in main-
the imports for antibiotics and other unsafe drugs commonly used to keep the animals alive in crowded, dirty conditions. (COVID-19 is suspected to have originated in a Chinese seafood market.) Rethinking Fish Injuries and Indus- tries Science has shown that fishes can experience fear and pain, and there is compelling scientific evidence that lobsters, shrimps, and other shellfishes can, too. Fishing methods are egre- giously inhumane and notoriously indiscriminate. Common methods in- clude capturing animals in immense nets; on longlines with thousands of baited hooks; or by dragging the sea bottom with weighted nets that also destroy fragile marine habitats. In ad- dition to the desired fishes, countless dolphins, sharks, turtles, whales, birds, and others are also captured, most of whom are thrown back dead or dying. For the past several decades, fishing technology has increased, along with the size of fishing fleets, to the point that aquatic populations are being re- moved faster than they can reproduce. Aquaculture (the farming of aquatic animals) is looked to as an alternative. However, rather than being a solution, it is actually a huge part of the prob-
Chldren’s books like An Underwater Friend teach and encourage respect and compassion for all living creatures.
