Our shocking video illuminates the truth of how these animals are forced to live. Carelessly and cruelly handled, the way fish are treated would be considered unconscionable if they were a dog or even a bird. Despite having a similar ability to feel pain as mammals and other animals, fish do not receive the same protection or consideration.

Undercover video reveals:

• Workers’ abusive handling of fish, including slamming and stomping on fish, and violently throwing fish, including treating them like basketballs performing “trick shots”

• Workers cruelly killing fish by slamming them on the ground

• Live fish have their eyes eaten by fish who are underfed and hungry and mistake their pupils as food

• Ineffective anesthetization during vaccination and fin clipping

• Fish thrown into buckets and left to suffocate in piles of the dead and dying

• Conditions so filthy that fish must be vaccinated

• Painful spinal deformities, and fungus growth on fish intended for human consumption, including fungus eating away at the faces of the fish

• Extreme crowding in barren conditions and high death rates of eggs and fish

This investigation also revealed haunting insight from workers at the hatchery, with one saying, "It really bummed me out killing fish like we do. 'Cause they just suffocate. It's so rough. Over the years you kinda get desensitized."
