Shrimp its whats for dinner?

Where do you get your shrip from? Where does that supplyer get his? I know the ship my store sells come from thailand... no idea if the same plants are used for the shrimp we sell.


Workers in Southeast Asia's shrimp industry suffer
regular abuse and sometimes live in what amounts to virtual slavery, a
human-rights organization said Wednesday.

The Solidarity Center report
says the global shrimp industry is worth about $13 billion
annually.

Sexual and physical abuse, debt bondage, child labor and unsafe
working conditions are common in Thailand and Bangladesh's shrimp processing
factories, the Solidarity Center said in a 40-page report.
