An eyewitness documented workers at a Lobster slaughterhouse as they tore live lobsters and crabs limb from limb, ripped their heads off, impaled animals on spikes, and dumped them into boiling water, among other abuses #WOWvTaiji #EndFishing #WoDEF pic.twitter.com/ehgWtGiTZP

Gran Canaria is set to open the world’s first octopus farm, which would see hundreds of thousands of them being commercially reared in intensive conditions – every year before being slaughtered for food #WOWvTaiji #EndFishing #WoDEF pic.twitter.com/XcDjYMOScU

Fish, crustaceans and cephalopods are at the heart of WoDEF's concerns, since they constitute the biggest proportion of animals killed by humans, amounting to thousands of billions of victims each year #WOWvTaiji #EndFishing #WoDEF pic.twitter.com/xiCyQK7SPA

According to the Fishcount organization, between 51 and 167 billion fish are raised and killed each year in aquaculture farms – mainly carp, tilapia and catfish #WOWvTaiji #EndFishing #WoDEF pic.twitter.com/lzAaaGLp4e

250 to 600 billion crustaceans are raised and killed each year (mainly shrimp) on Aquaculture farms. More than half of the shrimp and fish who are consumed worldwide come from these farms #WOWvTaiji #EndFishing #WoDEF pic.twitter.com/dwhmc08vHP

Fish farms are one of the worst horrors in the overall picture of animal exploitation. Hundreds of billions of aquatic animals live short lives of misery crowded together in submerged cages, tanks or cisterns #WOWvTaiji #EndFishing #WoDEF pic.twitter.com/6a8fBCGcfd
