Email your MP: slaughter laws for farmed fish

Why it's urgent

No fixed deadline is given. Animal Equality says no consultation, bill, or law has followed the Government's promise on fish slaughter laws.

The strategy

Asking an MP to raise the issue with the Farming Minister can add to pressure for a consultation or bill. Constituent emails can prompt that conversation, though one email is a small contribution.

Why it scored 75

Scale: Massive

About 77 million farmed fish killed in the UK each year, per Animal Equality.

Severity: Extreme

Per Animal Equality, fish may suffocate slowly in air or ice while fully conscious, which is extreme and prolonged suffering.

Chance of success: Long shot

Neither the 2023 advice nor the Government's promise has led to a consultation, bill, or law, so change looks unlikely soon.

Your difference: Moderate

A constituent's email adds to pressure on an MP, but 1,229 people have already written.
