END ANIMAL ABUSE IN DANISH WATERS

Aquaculture can be described as the ocean’s equivalent of farming, where fish are raised in open net cages. The Environmental Protection Agency reports there are 19 aquaculture facilities in Denmark, producing around 10,000 tons of fish annually. These farms primarily raise rainbow trout.

Fish are confined in net cages and cannot swim freely in the sea. At Dyrenes Alliance, we believe fish deserve freedom and fundamental rights.

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

FIGHT OCEAN POLLUTION

Aquaculture releases nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter from uneaten feed and fish waste. Copper from nets and drug residues can also pollute. These nutrients contribute to harmful algal blooms and degrade marine ecosystems.

At Dyrenes Alliance, we strive to protect marine life and habitats, and we advocate for the closure of Danish fish farms.

SAVE MILLIONS OF FEELING CREATURES WITH FINS

Research shows fish experience pain and stress. Studies on rainbow trout have revealed pain receptors and behavioral changes after harmful stimuli. Research on gilt-head bream reveals signs of emotional-like states.

These beings are unique individuals who have just as much right to freedom and fundamental rights as dogs, pigs, and humans.
