WoDEF 2024

WoDEF - World Day for the End of Fishing and Fish Farming calls for the abolition of fishing and aquaculture farms. Fishes, crustaceans and cephalopods are at the heart of WoDEF's concerns, since they constitute the biggest proportion of animals killed by humans, amounting to thousands of billions of victims each year.

Launched in 2017 in Switzerland, WoDEF is now used by organizations all around the world to raise awareness about aquatic life, among the public as well as within other animal rights organizations. Read the WoDEF's demands in detail.
