    It’s a real “they live” moment when you realize any outlet covering it as because of endless shrimp is literally lying to provide cover for the worst aspects of capitalism.

    Commercial fishing has absolutely devastated tens or hundreds of thousands of square kms of ocean and freshwater, and has critically degraded the entire planet’s ecology. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence. STOP PARTICIPATING IN ATROCITY.
