In February 2022, an animal advocacy group recorded footage of alleged abuse at 11 live animal markets in San Francisco—where the conditions witnessed would be considered illegal acts of cruelty and neglect under state law
At a San Francisco seafood shop, a worker in a pink hair cap and yellow gloves appears to cut into a turtle while it’s still alive and moving. Later, a dismembered fish continues to flop on a bed of ice, still alive but apparently unnoticed by nearby staff. A worker throws three live frogs onto a table before they’re carried off for slaughter.
The footage from Animal Outlook primarily captures mistreatment of marine animals including turtles, fish, and crabs, but it also includes chickens that were stuffed into overcrowded cages, which the group alleges is a violation of protections under both San Francisco’s and California’s welfare laws.
Lynne Sneddon, a fish pain expert at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, who analyzed the footage forFish, frogs, and turtles all have receptors for pain and respond to it like mammals, Sneddon says.
