Let's talk about the hidden consequences of mercy releases for this coming Vesak Day.

What begins as an act of compassion often leads to suffering.

Marine creatures experience extreme stress during capture, transport, and handling. Most released animals die within days due to injuries, stress, or inability to adapt to their new environment.

The ecological impact is equally concerning. Thousands of commercially-sourced animals released at once can:
Introduce invasive species and diseases.
Disrupt local habitats and food chains.
Create sudden population imbalances.
Degrade water quality when many die shortly after release.

:
Join beach clean-ups.
Spread awareness among your network.
Support marine conservation organisations.
Keep marine and freshwater creatures off your plates.
Avoid visiting aquariums where marine animals are held captive.
