Working with Industry to Improve Shrimp Welfare vs Advocating to Stop Shrimp Consumption
The decision to focus on improving welfare on farms rather than advocating for stopping consumption of shrimp was influenced by several factors. One of the reasons is that it makes more sense for an organization to promote a plant-based diet on a larger scale rather than targeting individual species like shrimp. Additionally, the scale of the problem in the fisheries and agriculture industry is significant, with millions of people employed in the sector. This suggests that the industry is likely to continue for decades, making it important to work on improving the lives of animals within the system. While some organizations can focus on promoting a plant-based diet, it is crucial to address the current situation and work towards positive changes.
