Did you kill bees and frogs and put bangers up cats bottoms when you were a kid? Why not try a job in salmon farming? 🦠🤢🤮☠️

Following @jaffa_dr’s idiotic theory that salmon farms don’t kill wild salmon & the LFT’s field data proving that they do, here’s 2 graphs of my own. Is it plausible that wild salmon probably die at the same rate from the same lice & diseases in the same water as feedlot fish?🤷🏻‍♂️

Watch Ben Hadfield of Mowi defend the farmed #Salmon industry if you want a study in being patronising, dismissive, + evasive. Top tip, if environmental issues are causing so many mortalities, that environment is wrong for growing farmed salmon☠️

Ben Hadfield of #Mowi mischaracterises those that don't want his broken #salmon industry as well funded activists + vegans 🤯 He says the vast majority of people on the west coast want them; they don't. Watch this film where Ullapool says NO. @fincarson https://t.co/BIuMcDwJPl

The #salmon #farming #crisis isn’t going away in Scotland. In fact, it’s getting much worse ☠️ lice increasing ☠️ disease increasing ☠️ mortalities increasing ☠️ wild fish numbers decreasing Speak to your local MSP. It’s gone too far.

Is regulation of salmon farming "embarrassingly weak"? Ahead of scrutiny of the sector by the rural affairs committee today, we find the UK's animal welfare regulator investigated 100 complaints about fish welfare - but only sent two warning letters: https://t.co/U6xyuXGpKB

A LOT of public money spent on an industry that cant control rising mortality levels, antibiotics, anti-sealice medication, or formalin☠️ use. The only thing falling is employment figures. #ScottishSalmon is a polluting, unethical, basket case of an industry with excellent PR.
