Louisville, Kentucky. – The following is a statement from Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman in response to news that Long John Silver now offers breaded fish-free fillets and breaded crab-free cake from the vegan Good Catch seafood line in five locations in California and Georgia:
“After pressure from PETA – including billboards and distribution of vegan fish with mermaid mascots – and after receiving emails from tens of thousands of PETA supporters, Long John Silver’s dives right into the wonderful world of vegan seafood, becoming the first major chain to offer artificial fish and ruthless crab. Oceans are in trouble, sensitive aquatic animals don’t want to die for a human meal, and this step brings us one step closer to the sustainable vegan planet we all need. ”
PETA, whose motto is in part that “the animals are not ours to eat” – opposes arrogance, a worldview focused on human superiority. For more information please visit PETA.org or subscribe to the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram…
