Simmons, which kills 21,000 fish catfish per day (animals who are raised in the company’s intensive confinement ponds), is one of the largest USDA inspected catfish slaughterhouses in the US. The company supplies national restaurant chains and grocery stores. The investigation revealed fish kept out of water for prolonged periods –up to an hour – before they were finally beheaded. While fish pass through an electrical stunning device during processing, many regain mobility and begin gasping and moving their fins long before they are finally decapitated. Rejected catfish, mudfish, and turtles were removed from production lines and placed in buckets without water. Later they are placed onto a conveyor and transported to a macerator where they were ground up alive. You can make a difference for fish by leaving them off your plate and choosing plant-based food instead.
