2023 was such an annus horribilis for the 'Scottish' salmon farming industry that $almafia leaders like Tavish Scott – the chief shill at Salmon Scotland – could be forgiven for thinking that 2024 would offer fresh hope and optimism. However, two new shows premiering today (1 January 2024) on Netflix and Paramount provide yet more evidence that salmon farming in Scotland is dead in the water and is plunging even deeper into the abyss!

Paramount's 'The Changemakers' features a whole episode on the 'extreme activists' opposing salmon farming in Scotland – featuring Jean Moffat (a 75-year old grandmother from the Isle of Bute), Wendy Elves (a resident of the Island of Papa Westray in the Orkney Islands who has the misfortune to have a Cooke-owned salmon farm just a javelin throw from the end of her garden), crusading film-maker Corin Smith, wild salmon advocate Matt Palmer and chief shill for the $almafia, Tavish Scott.

Chief $almafia shill Tavish Scott "let his PR face slip" @paramount
"Tavish was a champion condescender" says Jean Moffat.
"We're not able to find compromise right now which shows the need to go further….more direct action" says @sean_binder_ https://t.co/Lc90D7uqPr pic.twitter.com/11KIpf4EgJ— Don Staniford (@TheGAAIA) January 1, 2024
"If you can't start close on your doorstep to making a change and making a difference, then where do you start?" asks Wendy Elves of Papa Westray @paramountplus "The power is amongst the people" https://t.co/Lc90D7uqPr @sean_binder_ @ContentProper @CookeScotland @ScotlandSalmon pic.twitter.com/KgJ4PKAoat

"I am a great believer in strength in numbers" says Jean Moffat @paramountplus "We're going to try and pull in some groups. If we can talk and shout and deliver our message in concert it is much stronger" @CCNScotland @ScotLINK @scotgp @ArianeBurgessHI https://t.co/Lc90D7uqPr pic.twitter.com/GpX7MYZsmu

"What Wendy & Catherine are doing here on this island comes with big risks – there is ostracism, the way communities are split apart by this conversation" says @sean_binder_ "It's goes beyond a salmon farm per se"https://t.co/Lc90D7uqPr pic.twitter.com/jRTHjhvQTx

"It's been exhausting" says Wendy Elves of Papa Westray (who is fighting @CookeScotland salmon farming) "But we're not doing it for us. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't carry on down this route. It brings a certain emotion in me – we can't stop" https://t.co/Lc90D7uqPr pic.twitter.com/BNNeIa0jjp

What was the most surprising fact on salmon farming in the Netflix doc out today "You are what you eat"?
The high fat content & the chemicals stored there should be enough to end the industry overnight.

Netflix "You are what you eat" which dropped yesterday is now in top 10 UK programmes.
This may well be a blow the salmon farmers can't recover from. Retail salmon sales were already down nearly 10% this year by weight. pic.twitter.com/zqTPCDOJQ7— Free Salmon (@salmon_free) January 2, 2024
"I wouldn't serve farmed salmon to my dog, cat – not even my mother-in-law"
