Commercial Fishing

The methods used to kill fish are shocking and horrifying. Fish are so hideously abused that it would warrant felony cruelty-to-animals charges if the victims were dogs, cats, cows, or pigs. Small fish, such as these flounder, are dumped onto ice and slowly freeze to death or are crushed when thousands of their schoolmates are piled on top of them. Scientists estimate that fish endure up to 15 minutes of excruciating pain before they lose consciousness.
