–> Interconnected oppressions.
The fishing industry involves the violation of animal rights AND human rights. The exploitation of the animals and their ecosystems goes hand in hand with the exploitation of workers.

Unfortunately, the article doesn’t make this link. Nor is the link often made in animal rights circles.

We need a unified front against injustice.
We need total liberation.
