Commercial Fishing: How Fish Get From the High Seas to Your
Supermarket

Cruelty to Animals
Commercial fishing is cruelty to animals on an almost unimaginable
scale. Fish look so unlike humans that many people dont realize that
they feel pain, just as we do and lead complex intellectual lives that
rival those of dogs and some other mammals. The way that these animals
are treated by the commercial fishing industry should make animal
lovers everywhere give up their taste for fish flesh for good.
Todays commercial fishers use massive ships the size of football
fields and advanced electronic equipment and satellite communications
to track fish. These enormous vessels can stay out at sea for as long
as six months, storing thousands of tons of fish onboard in massive
freezer compartments.
