END ANIMAL ABUSE IN DANISH WATERS

Fish farms are the ocean’s version of farming, where fish are raised in large net pens placed in the sea. Here, countless individuals are abused and denied their basic rights. In Danish fish farms, fish are packed tightly, plagued by stress and disease, never able to swim freely. Denmark has 19 fish farm facilities, raising roughly 3 million fish annually..

At Dyrenes Alliance, we say no to animal abuse in Danish waters!

FIGHT THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE CATASTROPHE

Fish farms cause tragic damage to the environment. The 19 Danish farms expose our seas to a poison cocktail of chemicals. Tons of copper sulfate, antibiotics, and formalin pour directly into our waters with no filtration.

The ocean is Earth's lungs, absorbing about 30% of human-produced CO2. Disrupting marine ecosystems with fish farms throws these processes out of balance. Protecting the sea is essential to mitigating climate change. Closing fish farms aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 14 to conserve and sustainably use the oceans and their resources.

We endorse the Plant Based Treaty

SAVE MILLIONS OF FEELING CREATURES WITH FINS

Because fish look different than us—with scales instead of skin, and gills instead of lungs—they're often misunderstood and especially vulnerable to abuse. Despite scientific consensus that fish feel joy, pain, and sorrow, they suffer in silence. Fish often live in complex social groups, form deep personal bonds, and feel pain and fear when harmed. They show affection by rubbing against each other and communicate with low-frequency sounds. Each fish is a unique individual, deserving freedom and basic rights just like dogs, pigs, and humans.
