THE DEADLY FISH INDUSTRY


Fish feel pain and deserve protections

UNDERWATER SUFFERING

Whether they are raised in industrial fish farms or caught in the wild, fish have zero legal protections in how they’re treated or slaughtered. Fish often live in complex social groups, they use tools and exhibit signs of anxiety and pain. However, fish are treated like commodities by the fishing industry.

FACTORY FISH FARMS
Most of the fish eaten today are raised inland or on ocean-based aquafarms, spending their entire lives confined in tightly packed environments. In the factory farm industry, fish suffer for up to two years in water that has high levels of ammonia and nitrates.

It is common that groups of fish will become infested with parasites which feed on the gills, organs, and blood of fish. Bacterial infections also run rampant.

INDUSTRIAL FISHING
Commercial fishing is cruelty to animals on a colossal scale, killing nearly a trillion animals worldwide every year. Ships the size of football fields use techniques such as longlining and gill nets.

In longlining, ships unreel up to 50 miles of line, each with hundreds of thousands of baited hooks. Gill nets, which range from 300 feet to seven miles in length, create large walls of nets that fish are unable to see. They inadvertently swim into them and many will suffocate or bleed to death.


CRUEL SLAUGHTER
In the United States, fish are not covered by the Humane Slaughter Act. This results in a wide variety of cruel slaughter methods dependent on industry, company, and species.


Fish are usually removed from the water and left to suffocate and die. They desperately attempt to escape as their gills collapse preventing them from being able to breathe. Larger animals, such as tuna and swordfish, are usually clubbed to death. This often leads to an animal being injured but regaining consciousness and the process having to be repeated several times.

Remembering the Bangladesh Liberation War: The Struggle for Independence and the Atrocities of 1971.

  Remembering the Bangladesh Liberation War: The Struggle for Independence and the Atrocities of 1971 . The Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971 was a pivotal moment in the history of South Asia. The conflict was sparked by the refusal of the government of Pakistan to recognize the results of the 1970 elections in East Pakistan, where the Awami League, a Bengali nationalist party, had won a majority of seats. The Pakistan Army launched a military operation in East Pakistan, known as Operation Searchlight, in an attempt to suppress the Bengali nationalist movement and maintain control over the region. The military operation led to widespread atrocities, including mass killings, rape, and forced displacement. The Pakistan Army targeted civilians, particularly members of the Hindu minority, in a campaign of ethnic cleansing. The Bengali nationalist movement, led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his Awami League party, organized resistance against the Pakistani military and formed a provisional g

Seventy years on from the end of the Second World War the full, shocking scale of the Nazi-inspired Holocaust in Ukraine is finally being revealed - thanks to pioneering work by a French Catholic priest to research the truth of the industrial-scale killing.

Sleeping With the Enemy

Image
S leeping With the Enemy As US troops crossed into Germany, General Eisenhower gave his men strict orders to stay away from the locals. But thousands struck up relations with German women, and many of them fathered children they never knew. The official reason for the fraternization ban introduced in September 1944 was to punish German civilians, while maintaining the authority of the occupying forces and protecting them from the insidious force of Nazi propaganda. In fact, it served another, more delicate purpose. After landing in Italy in 1943, the Allied armies had been badly weakened by the rapid spread of venereal disease brought about by the soldiers' contact with prostitutes. American GIs were warned against encounters with local women. But it was to no avail -- in the chaos of the postwar years, GIs and German girls both needed each other.

  Artist becomes online celebrity after hanging naked in unsuccessful performance. A Norwegian artist living in Britain has had an unsuccessful performance turned into a hit online video. Hilde Krohn Huse, 26, decided to go to woodland near her home in Surrey and film her performance as part of an art project. "This was a scene I wanted to include in a video. In my head it was supposed to be very simple: go up, hang, come down and go home," said the artist in an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live. The detail is that the artist would do this naked, in an isolated area, hanging by ropes from a tree branch, without any type of protection. It was a very isolated place, a forest. The closest people were half a mile away." After hanging upside down by her leg for a little over a minute, to get the image that would be part of the project, Hilde tried to free herself from the rope, but the knot around her ankle was too tight. After hanging by her leg to get the image that wo

Terrible! "Wooden Horse Or Spanish Donkey" Method Of Punishment

  Terrible! "Wooden Horse Or Spanish Donkey" Method Of Punishment  The wooden horse, or Spanish donkey, was an extremely painful and gruesome medieval torture device.  It was first used by the Holy Inquisition in France and then in Spain and Germany, and then migrated to the Americas, gaining prominence during the colonial period.  The main design was the same wherever it was used.  It was a triangular wooden box with a very sharp top end (ie where the horse's spine would be).  The apparatus was constructed of wood, with planks nailed together to form a long, tapered ridge, which would serve as the horse's back.  These were supported by four legs attached to a bracket, about 6 or 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 metres) high, with wheels fitted to the bottom of the legs so that the entire device could roll across the ground.  A head and tail would be attached to make the torture device look like an almost “fun” huge wooden horse.  The defendant would be mounted on the horse, with

  When Liberation Meant Demonization: France’s “Ugly Carnivals” After France was liberated from German occupation, many within the country borrowed Nazi tactics to publicly shame women.
