http://video.animalequality.org:443/videos/watch/ce1e5f69-ec04-4f33-8f0a-e7d930b5fd9f Animal Equality UK has uncovered disturbing scenes at a Scottish salmon farm operated by Bakkafrost - a site that, at the time of filming, was supplying Tesco’s Finest range. Our undercover footage reveals fish left to starve and die in cages that the company had falsely claimed were empty. These animals were found with open wounds, severe lice infestations, and visible lesions - clear breaches of both environmental and animal protection laws. Tesco has since suspended this site, but given the seriousness of what we documented, we’re calling on them to go further and cut ties with all Bakkafrost salmon farms. Without action across the board, how can the public be confident that similar suffering isn’t unfolding elsewhere? Official regulators have so far refused to confirm whether any penalties will be issued. “Abandoning fish who are trapped in cages on a farm that should have been empty is both unlawful and cruel,” says Abigail Penny, Executive Director of Animal Equality UK. This revelation comes during a period of mounting crises in Scotland’s salmon industry - from mass escapes to repeated welfare failures - raising urgent questions about accountability, transparency, and the true cost behind supermarket shelves.
