A tender moment in a troubled industry?

A tender moment in a troubled industry?
SHARE

Whistleblowers recently shared with me a clip from a fish farm that revealed a surprising interaction between a worker and a seal. In the video, the worker leans over the side of a boat and offers dead fish to a seal waiting by the sea cage. The seal accepts the offering, creating a moment of quiet connection between human and animal.

While the exchange may seem touching at first glance, it raises important questions about the practices on the fish farm. Why were there so many dead fish in the first place, and why was the seal so close to the pens? The footage was recorded on a Scottish salmon farm, where over 7,000 captive fish died due to predation last year.

This incident highlights the distorted relationship between humans and animals in the salmon industry. For example, so-called ‘cleaner fish’ like wrasse and lumpfish are exploited in fish farms to control lice infestations on salmon. These gentle creatures are bred or taken from the wild and used as living lice-removal devices, a far cry from their natural symbiotic relationship with salmon in the wild.

Additionally, each farmed salmon consumes approximately 440 wild-caught fish over its lifetime, which are ground into feed pellets. This practice not only depletes marine ecosystems but also disrupts the natural food chain, depriving other species of essential nutrition.

The environmental impact of salmon farming extends beyond the sea, as seen in the approval of the first fully on-land salmon farm in England. Despite objections and legal challenges, this facility would confine one million salmon annually, consuming vast amounts of power, water, and releasing significant waste.

Furthermore, fish farms worldwide are plagued by ‘mass mortality events’, where hundreds of thousands of animals die due to equipment failure or human error. These incidents, such as filter collapses and toxic gas buildups, highlight the devastating consequences of industrial farming practices.

The destructive nature of factory farming extends beyond fish to other animals as well. From piglets being mutilated without pain relief to calves being separated from their mothers shortly after birth, the industry’s practices raise serious ethical concerns.

As we continue to exploit and harm the natural world for profit, it’s crucial to reevaluate our relationship with animals and the environment. Sustainable and compassionate practices must replace the current system of exploitation and destruction in order to preserve our planet for future generations.
