Giant Tuna Tin Sculpture outside John West's HQ in UK

A stunning two-storey sculpture is erected outside tuna company John West’s HQ to highlight the company’s destructive fishing practices. The towering tuna tin, created by the renowned Mutoid Waste Company, is flanked by huge effigies of threatened marine life, including sharks and sea turtles, reflecting John West’s broken sustainability promise to consumers. At the heart of the installation, the tuna tin is ripped open to reveal a screen showing films which lift the lid on both John West’s environmental destruction and Thai Union’s links to human rights abuses, including bonded labour and human trafficking.
