Dear Madam ,

Thousands of individuals have contacted you to express their concern that you cut eyes off female prawns to make them reproduce faster. And yet you have made no commitment to end this cruel practice.

Female prawns breed without having their eyes cut off in the wild and research has shown that they will breed in captivity given the right environment and conditions. There is no excuse for this traumatic procedure.

I won't support an industry that cuts eyes off animals and I'll be leaving prawns off my plate whilst this cruelty continues. Please end the practice of 'eyestalk ablation' on live prawns.
