of every Kōnakuri sale goes to Shrimp Welfare Project, toward preventing eyestalk ablation and reducing shrimp suffering.
On many hatcheries, the eyestalks of female breeding shrimp are cut or crushed so they spawn sooner. Shrimp Welfare Project works with farms and retailers to end the practice, and puts electrical stunners on farms so shrimp are unconscious before slaughter.
