Who They Are
Crustacean Compassion was founded in 2016 to promote the humane treatment and welfare of decapod crustaceans, including crabs, lobsters, prawns, and langoustines. The organisation was established in response to reports of crabs being sold alive but fully immobilised in shrink-wrap in UK supermarkets. At the time, agencies were unable to intervene because decapod crustaceans, as invertebrates, were not legally classified as “animals” under UK animal welfare laws and were generally assumed to be insentient.
The Role
Crustacean Compassion is particularly interested in individuals with experience in one or more of the following areas:
-
Campaigns and Policy – Bringing advocacy and policy expertise to support the CEO in developing high-impact strategies that drive positive change.
-
Corporate Engagement – Strengthening relationships with the food sector and guiding approaches to partnerships and sector-wide improvements.
-
Legal and Governance – Ensuring compliance and integrity through oversight and guidance on legal and governance matters.
-
Communications – Expanding reach, growing the supporter base, and amplifying the organisation’s message through storytelling and strategic communications.
-
Fishing, Food, and Aquaculture Industries – Advising on industry engagement, technological developments, and trends in aquatic farming.
-
Wild Welfare – Supporting strategic development initiatives focused on decapod ecology and population health.
-
Animal Welfare Research (Aquatic Care) – Providing expertise in the welfare of fish and other aquatic species to inform research, campaigns, and policies with sound scientific evidence.
