Closed Ban the sale of brine shrimp as fish food

Closed on

Brine shrimp are often sold as food for fish, and are consumed live. While some argue they are not sentient nor able to suffer, as someone who has kept shrimp I disagree - and more objectively, this is not supported by scientific evidence. The UK is a leader in animal welfare and should ban this.
