Tell Meijer: Stop Selling Live Fish as ‘Pets’ Immediately

Fish are intelligent individuals who are capable of feeling fear and pain. However, Meijer, a big-box retailer, continues to sell live fish as “pets,” even after hearing from PETA that fish are bred by the millions in tubs, confined to cramped bags, and starved for several days during transport to retailers—and that many of them die before arriving at stores.

Urge Long John Silver’s and Captain D’s to Sell Vegan Fish

More fish are killed for food each year than all other animals combined. Without any legal protection from cruel treatment, these intelligent, complex animals are impaled, crushed, suffocated, or cut open and gutted, all while they’re fully conscious. Carl’s Jr., Burger King, and other major chains have added vegan options to their menus, but Long John Silver’s and Captain D’s are falling behind the times.
