A lot of tuna and other canned food comes from Thailand today. We have dolphin-free tuna, so why not slave-free tuna too?

Slaves probably figure in a lot of global markets we don’t commonly think much about.

Its a thing we need to STOP dead in its tracks. Stamp out slavery with nukes—tell any ofending nation—if they keep on doing this they will be obliterated from the planet—slaves and all. Blow up a few nations and it will stop and lower the excess population in the process.

But are there any major “American” brands of tunafish (such as Chicken of the Sea or Starkist or?) that are involved in this? We sure hope not, but if anyone knows or finds out for sure please let us know? THANK YOU!

StarKist? That would be interesting. StarKist has benefited in the past from special consideration by Nancy Pelosi. (wiki: "Pelosi co-sponsored legislation that omitted American Samoa from a raise in the minimum wage as early as 1999, prior to Del Monte's acquisition of StarKist Tuna in 2002.)

Not saying StarKist involved, but IF they were involved:
As far as her political career went, it would be poetic justice exposing for the corrupt hypocrite she is.
