Title: Shrimp - slave labour :(
Post by: asal on December 15, 2015, 07:15:10 AM
You beat me up so bad Shen?  Now let's discuss slave labour in fricking Thailand :(  Sucks.  I've been looking at where shrimp comes from when I buy it - most of it is Thai, lots is from the glorious land of China.  I'm always hoping to find it from Atlantic Canada but not out here in BC, I suppose.



Here's the story from a bleeding liberal site :(

Quote11 Popular Chains Caught Selling Shrimp Made with Child Slave Labor



The shrimp on your dinner table may have been processed by child slaves in Thailand.



A bombshell investigation published today from the Associated Press revealed that a seafood staple in many Americans' diets is made largely possible through forced labor in a country that's notorious for its enabling of human traffickers. Much of Thailand's multi-billion dollar shrimp export industry is made possible with child slave labor, some of whom are so young that they have to stand on a stool to reach the table where families are forced to peel and de-vein shrimp for 12 to 16 hours a day.



The AP tracked shrimp processed in Samut Sakhon — a province just outside of Bangkok — where upwards of 10,000 migrant children ranging from 13 to 15 years old,  are shipped in from neighboring countries like Myanmar and Cambodia and referred to not by their name, but by a number. These children are forced to stand hunched over piles of shrimp and process them at breakneck speeds for little to no pay:



Inside the large warehouse, toilets overflowed with feces, and the putrid smell of raw sewage wafted from an open gutter just outside the work area. Young children ran barefoot through suffocating dorm rooms. Entire families labored side-by-side at rows of stainless steel counters piled high with tubs of shrimp.



Tin Nyo Win and his wife, Mi San, were cursed for not peeling fast enough and called "cows" and "buffalos." They were allowed to go outside for food only if one of them stayed behind as insurance against running away.

Most countries in East Asia have laws that forbid child labour and of course slavery, but enforcement is another issue.

Not only are the labor practices despicable but much of the shrimp coming out of SE Asia does not meet FDA standards for safe consumption.



"Nearly all (94 percent) of the raw shrimp available in the U.S. are farmed in Asian countries, including Thailand, Vietnam, India and Indonesia. Because of the crowded and polluted conditions that typically exist in fish-farming ponds or tanks, the shrimp are often given antibiotics such as tetracyclines, which is illegal in shrimp imported to the U.S.



Specifically, the CR report noted that "of 205 raw farmed imported shrimp samples, 11 samples from Vietnam, Thailand, and Bangladesh tested positive for one or more antibiotics: Nine tested positive for oxytetracycline, three contained enrofloxacin, and two contained sulfa antibiotics."



As some of you may know a lot of people are highly allergic (like myself) to sulfa antibiotics.

I don't know who dominates the shrimping industry in the US.



All I know is that I stay away from the imported stuff. I'm allergic to sulfa based antibiotics so I don't like to take the chance. I will only buy if I know where it came from or if it has the "Best Aquaculture Practices" label or a certification from the "Wild American Shrimp or the Marine Stewardship Council". That way I know it's been raised or harvested properly and it's free from antibiotics.



If I have a choice, the seafood I buy comes from a local restaurant and fish market. It's all fresh wild caught fish and a lot of it such as the clams, oysters and mussels are locally harvested. You pay a little more but you know what you are getting.

I was in Newfoundland - there's a cooperative there - they process the shrimp right in town.  Might be hard to find - but watch for that.  I always read the back of packages - I can't buy most things :(  I end up eating things from places I don't support regardless when I eat outside.

I'm confused about farmed fish - don't know much about it, as with most things.  I was in a class - I think it was organic chemistry.  We were warned against eating farmed salmon because it contains neurotoxins.  They feed the farmed salmon something to control the lice population.  So I stay away from farmed salmon.  Other fish, I don't know.

Not always.  Farmed salmon are "atlantic salmon" on the west coast.  I'm not sure about the east coast.

I was told we have fish farms in Saskatchewan for Christ sakes. Who would eat fish if they knew it comes from this province. Barley, canola, crude oil, potash and uranium yes, but fish. We should stay away from that business.

meat cutters and skilled butchers cost alot of money. bigger corporations like Walmart and such will usually have one or two locations that constantly cut meat and then ship it to various stores already packaged. it costs less because they can use unskilled labor to keep meat cases full.... the quality and freshness of the meat suffers but the money is all they care about anyway....

Meat cutters can work retail or on an assembly line. The average wage in Canada is less than $17 an hour. Sobeys will typically have one retail meat cutter per shift. That person will not exclusively cut customized meat though as most meat will come in from places like Centennial Packers. When not making specialized cuts they perform other duties within the fish and meat department.



A Butcher starts at the beginning, while a meat cutter takes over after slaughter and aging is complete.

How do you know for sure? Mickey D's claims they use 100% Canadian beef.
  There is no way that's real beef at all.

Quote from: "GrAnnie"I suppose no one ever really knows.....

There's so much deception with meat labeling I have become cynical about it all. However, maybe the butcher is buying local free range meat. Once you've had the real thing, nobody will ever pull the wool over your eyes.

I should hope not. I got into buying organic, free range elk of a nearby farmer a few years ago. OMIGAWD is it good. We buy free range chickens, wild boar and buzzards too.

Yeah, that's not allowed in Edmonton either. How fucking stupid. We're talking about laying hens, not a noisy rooster.

we have a Farm Fresh Meat shop next to the cattle auction in the town next to us. its the best place to buy meat if you want it fresh. some ppl avoid it though because you can hear the cows going in and ppl 'working'.... lol.... they still do alot of business. they'll even process ppls deer and boars.... had a job there for a bit but customer relations isn't my strongest attribute.... lol....





unrelated, i believe a few years ago the UK was selling horse meat in a few places and calling it beef. a girl i posted with had a thred about it. a few ppl backed up her claim but i wasn't concerned enough to search it....

In the UK they also sold beef infected with mad cow disease or what Dawn French referred to as "the wobbly cows".  :laugh3:

i'd try any kind of meat. but horse just sounds like it would be tough and bland. i guess as a burger, it would be okay. i dunno.... i draw the line on guts. some things just need to go in the fuckin trash....

I hear horse isn't that bad. As with all meat I suppose it depends on the age of the animal, how it is slaughtered and the cut.

Look friend, I really don't know what you are talking about and I mean that. DD, what is that? I do not know what this feud between you and the Seoul brother is all about.

What do you want from me? You want me to say you know more about Korean culture, cuisine and language than the Seoul brother? Check your messages dsm. Same goes for the Seoul brother and kiebers. I am done with this kindergarten garbage. I will soon be 48 years old for Christ sakes. Later brother.

i don't want anything from you.... you jumped in with both feet. i'm just telling you what i know.... and i'm telling you that usernames are not always 100% true.... Spectre posted here before. do you think hes a g-g-g-g-ghost? but you do as you see fit.... i know a poster that calls himself Doctor Love. would you like his email address so you can get a prostate exam? i'm sure it would be relatively cheap and after all hes obviously a 'doctor'..... :(

I'd be inclined to go with someone's personal experience over cultural norms in another country.  I'm not sure why dsm would a) make up eating dog with some Korean woman when that's kind of gross b) there are always exceptions to rules and c) why aren't we talking about what Koreans do to poor cabbages - kimchi  :yuk: (just kidding!)



Personally I'm not that attached to a line when it comes to eating animals.  There are cultures that think we are disgusting for eating pork or barbaric for eating beef.  We all have our lines and some are longer than others.

This is so funny catching the crybaby troll in an obvious lie. He even brought in a friend from Blurtsome to try and give his tall tale some credibility. Nice touch.

"dog meat is supposed to increase stamina and male virility"



I was born not far from the biggest dog market in all of Korea. It's in Seongnam. Does he even know when Koreans traditionally eat dogs. It's not my fault the crybaby troll did not do his research.

Why did you want to taste your dog?  Or was it not your dog?  If not, why did you shoot someone else's dog then eat it?  How long have you been curious about what dog tasted like?

the property we shared was on the outskirts of nowhere. mostly swamp and wetlands.... there was a total of 5 houses in relative walking distance. law enforcement was scarce. i looked out for me and her both since her husband died and the dog was pretty vicious.... it charged me one night because i came out of MY FUCKIN HOUSE.... i asked the neighborhood if anyone owned it. nobody did. i killed it. i wasn't happy about it and i'd never eaten dog before..... i saw an opportunity and i took it.... thats all there was to it.... :(

Neither dog meat or dog soup(boshintang 보신탕) are regular staples. Women have tried dog, but it is usually men and at certain time of the year. Eating dog is becoming less common in Korea. What I am getting at is that the chances of a Korean woman in the states cooking dog meat for a miguk are extremely slim That is why I am calling the crybaby troll on his bullshit.

Seoul, what are you doing? You are better than this petty crap. As I get older I have less and less tolerance for bullshitters like odinson or that Dinky Diana guy. But dsm is not like that. He was telling a little story that even if it is made up is a long way from the constant bs of those two twits I just mentioned. From what I have heard, dsm comes from a troll type forum. I do not want the guy to stop telling stories. He's an ok guy, cut him some slack.

look here, little fella.... this wasn't some random bitch going door to door offering to cook dogs for ppl. she had been my neighbor for 2 years prior to the dog incident. her husband died in a boating accident withen the first 6 months of them moving there. i cut her grass, i brought her fresh deer, i had her over for dinner quite often, she would call and i would check her yard with a gun and flashlight at midnight, i helped her with paperwork if it was to technical for her, i drove her around when nobody else would.... for the most part, i was her goddamn lifeline till she could finally move closer to town.... i dunno all the ins and outs and rules of etiquette associated with eating a fuckin dog.... but i know that there is no reason in hell this shit needed to be drug out this long.... and on that note, i will bid you a good day.... because quite frankly Kim Jong, you're making me ill.... lol.... :D

Don't sweat it brother. This is not about some broad cooking dog for you and you know it. It's spill over from crap that happened at another forum. It's too bad because you both seem like good guys.
