The industry calls it “eyestalk ablation”—a method used to force female shrimp to reproduce faster. According to shrimp welfare project : “Researchers discovered that when shrimps are subjected to ESA, they try to escape it. They also flick their tails and rub their eye area. When the wounds are covered or medicine is given, the shrimps calm down. This suggests that the ablation caused them pain and distress. Ablated females’ offspring are less tolerant of stress. They are also more likely to get diseases. There are many possible stress factors for animals in aquaculture. These include handling, crowding, high stocking densities and poor water quality. Eyestalk ablation is one more thing that worsens their welfare.”
Did you just blow in from stupid town or something?
They didn’t say “before pregnancy” they said they have to “continuously” be pregnant. Which is true, the mammal body only produces milk for an upcoming child. Which dairy farmers strip the child away from the mother right after birth, to then take that nutrients from the mother (meant for the baby) for human gullets. They then need to repeat this process until the mother is no longer of use to them. It’s fucking rape and constant exploitation for these animals. I fail to see what your gotcha was here.
Please continue though with the explicit details of your animal exploitation experience, it isn’t the badge of honor you think it is.
Uh no, they get pregnant at most once a year.
Your lack of knowledge isn’t the badge of honor you think it is either. Continuously pregnant? What kind of idiot are you?
