It’s time to stop sponsoring the fishing industry. Either with government subsidies or with your own pocket money

The numbers listed here are quite low as a percentage of the 1-3 trillion fish slowly tortured to death every year by the fishing industry on purpose.

Scottish creel rope kills:

• 6 humpback whales
• 30 minke whales

UK-only vessels, annual bycatch killed estimates:

• 120 tonnes of "protected" sharks, skates, and rays
• 10 000 seabirds
• 1 000+ endangered Atlantic salmon
• 1 000 harbour porpoises and common dolphins
• 500 seals

Globally

• 400 000 seabird deaths from drowning due to gillnets

Orders of magnitude worse suffering is caused by factory farms where another 1-3 trillion fish are enslaved in continuous torturous conditions their entire lives.
