Free Salmon

🔴 NEW 🔴

The world’s largest salmon producer Mowi stands accused of a charm offensive in the Scottish Highlands that distracts from its “polluting, smelly and invasive” fish farms, say local residents and fishers, in what used to be “pristine” Highlands lochs.

Triodos, what happened to your sustainable ambitions? 🤔

As of November 2024, Triodos has invested a shocking $16 million dollars in Bakkafrost, one of the world’s largest fish farming companies. (1/5)

📢 EXPOSED: Big banks and investors are pouring $ BILLIONS into the salmon farming industry, driving its enormous growth and huge profits at the expense of wild fish populations and communities around the globe.

Here are 5 key takeaways from our new report that you should know about 🧵(1/6)

Antibiotic resistance in farmed salmon is way worse than previously recognised.

Norwegian Company Just Put a Bounty on 27,000 Escaped Salmon Norwegian company Mowi, is offering a reward for each escaped salmon caught after around 27,000 fish busted out of a local farm.

Vice, cover the recent escape of salmon in Norway

Farmed salmon from Scotland in the news again today, hard to believe that salmon are considered a healthy choice of food to eat.

Humpback whale that was trapped on a salmon farm at the Isle of Skye is now free, but with an increase of these whales visiting Scotland, it's only a question of when not if this happens again.

Wild Atlantic Salmon in Ireland are under threat from farmed salmon. Inter breeding with farmed salmon could wipe them out.

The Soil Association and the RSPCA assured scheme are not fit for purpose, neither has an upper limit for mortality, a farmer could lose 99% of their fish and the remaining 1% would still get the "high welfare" rubber stamp.
Why?

Pearl Jellyfish wipe out 200,000 salmon, the industry blames rising sea temps. If that's the case isn't it time that the industry called it a day?
or do they have some clever tricks on how to reverse climate change?

Lots of papers today covering the report from Scottish parliament committee.
It's a shame organisations like the RSPCA & Soil Association can't pay attention to this report, they need to stop certifying farms with high mortality.

Salmon farming now banned in Washington after huge escape of salmon from farms in 2017.
Meanwhile in Scotland the largest escape in a decade is hidden from the public for 2 years…

Salmon farmers don’t have to report when farmed fish escape during transport!
Wild Atlantic salmon are an endangered species and escapes like this could finish them off.

Santa with badge saying "I say no to farmed salmon"

Don’t put poison on the plate this Christmas.

Salmon farming is a dirty business… How do you know the salmon you eat isn’t a diseased zombie salmon?

Go on fish eaters - tell me how much you love eating zombie salmon…

Who’s made my naughty list this year…?

Anyone I missed?

It speaks to the gravity of the problems across the Assured scheme that Chris, who was so proud to represent the RSPCA, has decided his only choice now is to leave. By endorsing animal agriculture instead of protecting those trapped within it, the RSPCA has lost its way.

RSPCA accused of ‘failure of leadership’ as Chris Packham resigns Packham and Caroline Lucas stood down as president and vice-president after workers at the charity’s approved abattoirs were filmed mistreating animals

Well done @carolinelucas.bsky.social cas.bsky.social and @chrisgpackham.bsky.social ham.bsky.social for making a stand against the RSPCA's hypocrisy.

How many more controversies can the salmon sector survive? Yesterday's revelations over organic fish farms in Scotland should set further alarm bells ringing

The Soil Association can’t escape the fact that chemicals they’ve banned have been routinely fed to “organic salmon” that’s currently for sale

1/3 This scandal with so-called 'organic' salmon is just the tip of the iceberg. Not only are consumers being duped into paying premium prices for farmed salmon doused in toxic chemicals, but the entire practice of fish farming is an environmental disaster.

The Soil Association have been certifying farmed salmon that contain banned chemicals, which they themselves say can lead to Parkinson’s!!
