In recent years, we have been making films for the general public based on footage of animal farms sent to ARCJ and our investigation activities. This is an attempt to have many people become aware of and think about the issues of animal agriculture.

Until now, ARCJ has been raising awareness about aquatic animals, especially crustaceans, about “ethical” killing and cooking methods, and has made inquiries to shops that are too terrible. These live fish dishes were not seen at one time due to the corona disaster, but the state of emergency has lifted, and sales of live crustaceans and fishes are resuming to gather crowds at large supermarkets and tourist spots for example. The crabs in the photos were being sold at a souvenir shop at a roadside station in a rural area. They are palm-sized crabs who live in the warm waters of Japan and are sold under the names of gazami…

Imu Hotel Kyoto and Animal Rights Center Japan have been on the path to cage-free over the past year, with occasional harsh debates. Originally with vegan options and a proven track record of food education events, including animal welfare, the hotel’s restaurant naturally has a deep commitment to ingredients. Initially, the food supplier used by Imu Hotel did not handle cage-free eggs, and there was a big hurdle to achieving cage-free without changing the favors at the restaurant. For this reason ARCJ introduced some poultry farms in the neighborhood, but it was difficult to get OK from the Imu Hotel side. The price of cage-free eggs that match the chef’s…

Unfortunately, however, in response to the spread of the coronavirus infection, the earliest film festival was postponed to be online, so we decided to release the film to the public in advance considering that the information would become out of date. The production involved volunteer supporters…
