History of the Campaign



PETA's campaign targets both recreational and commercial fishing to stop the unnecessary torture of these animals by pointing out the cruelty of fishing and the health risks associated with eating fish. PETA's Fishing Campaign has recently been covered by the Associated Press and CNN, and has been the subject of articles in papers across the country, including The Wall Street Journal and USA Today, and has been the topic of conversation on talk radio shows nationwide.

Here are just a few of PETA's many actions in behalf of fish:
