In 2019, Animal Outlook released the first-ever undercover exposé of salmon aquaculture in the U.S. and documented senseless violence against these sentient animals at Cooke Aquaculture, an industrial Atlantic salmon hatchery in Bingham, Maine. In 2020, Animal Outlook, represented by Richman Law & Policy, filed a lawsuit against Cooke Aquaculture for misleading and deceptive advertising in violation of the District of Columbia Consumer Protection and Procedures Act.
