Forgotten victims of factory farming

All too often, out of sight means out of mind. So it is for fishes kept in factory farms across New Zealand. Confined, stressed, and depressed, the horrific conditions they are forced to endure are hidden beneath the water. As it currently stands, salmon in underwater factory farms have no protection under the law.

Last year, SAFE went below the surface to expose the truth of these cruel factory farms, bringing to light the unimaginable suffering of the millions of salmon trapped in barren underwater cages, out of sight and out of mind.

SAFE called on Kiwis to act and over 5,000 of you emailed the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee and the Associate Minister of Agriculture (Animal Welfare) calling for a ban on fish factory farming.

Over 100 Kiwis took SAFE’s Fish-Free Challenge and swapped out fish for delicious fish-free recipes that still have all the flavours of the sea.
