How much is @salmon_scottish paying @Sygazette to promote cheap & nasty Scottish salmon? https://t.co/7Ztbud0gOl @Try_Lochlander @coopuk @Folketrygdfond @SSPOsays #Scottish #Scamon pic.twitter.com/hPptWVLiGV

In a shocking display of poor taste, The Stornoway Gazette is promoting (30 March 2021) disease-ridden 'Scottish' salmon (as seen streaming on Netflix's 'Seaspiracy'):
If you're blind to the concerns of factory salmon farming and have a strong stomach then you can buy 'Native Hebridean' 'Scottish' salmon online here!
The Harris & Lewis Smokehouse web-site claims that their disease-ridden Scottish salmon is "raised responsibly" and "the finest Scottish Salmon from The Scottish Salmon Company":
Photos slipped out last month @marinescotland provide yet more damning evidence of welfare abuse on salmon farms – please boycott Scottish salmon! https://t.co/bp2h3Rylag @salmon_scottish @Try_Lochlander @Folketrygdfond @GreenerScotland @scotgp @coopuk @rspcaassured @SSPCA_Mike pic.twitter.com/Sngg29WYTp

The Stornoway Gazette reported (10 November 2020):
Headline in The Stornoway Gazette: "Campaign group accuse local salmon farm of welfare issues" @Sygazette https://t.co/GTSE0qbODJ
"It is now surely time for @salmon_scottish to end its operations in Loch Roag” said Andrew Graham-Stewart @SalmonTroutCons @Folketrygdfond @SSPOsays pic.twitter.com/LSQM32nVHH— Don Staniford (@TheGAAIA) November 10, 2020
The Scottish Salmon Company's marketing talks about their "pride" in Lochlander salmon which is "delivered to our Smokehouse on the wild and windswept Western Isles of Scotland".
When Scottish Salmon Watch visited Strondoir Bay the Lochlander salmon we videoed did not match the pretty pictures in The Scottish Salmon Company's glossy brochures.
When Corin Smith filmed inside The Scottish Salmon Company's salmon farm at Vacasay in Loch Roag in August 2018 he found gruesome welfare abuse which was featured on the BBC One Show and BBC Panorama.
And The Scottish Salmon Company's lice-infested farmed salmon can be seen streaming now on Netflix's 'Seaspiracy' – watch it if you dare online here
When Animal Equality went undercover at The Scottish Salmon Company at their processing plant at Arnish on the Isle of Lewis the welfare abuse was truly shocking:

Did you background check their claims that it is 100% “Native Hebridean” salmon before running the ad?
Who did the DNA testing?@ASA_UK— Salmon Scotland (@SalmonScotland) March 31, 2021
@waitrose would you mind explaining what you mean by a native Hebridean salmon….@PaddyCGalbraith pic.twitter.com/Sdj0r76Qyu

For public clarification, can Waitrose please come clean on the "complete traceability" of Hebridean Salmon? Is it sourced from @salmon_scottish ? Is it sourced from salmon eggs imported from Norway or Iceland? @marinescotland @WeAreBenchmark @HGSalmonUK https://t.co/3spFPTDB93 pic.twitter.com/cq0i5uZQBY

Just wondering if Waitrose source from Scottish Salmon's Plocropol salmon farm which has a Norwegian strain of Piscine Mycarditis Virus (presumably imported via infected ova) @salmon_scottish @Try_Lochlander https://t.co/1ZYSFmwryO pic.twitter.com/axiks6147F

Scottish Salmon Watch today (1 April 2021) red-flagged the issue with Trading Standards in the Western Isles.
Surely this is yet another case of misleading marketing for Trading Standards? @cne_siar https://t.co/d8WSEJtPlb Claiming that Scottish Salmon is "raised responsibly" and "the finest" @harrisandlewis1 simply does not hold water. Didn't you watch Seaspiracy expose Scottish Salmon? pic.twitter.com/6Grbhmei0W

Last month, Scottish Salmon Watch filed a complaint against Rick Stein's smoked salmon with Trading Standards in Cornwall.
Trading Standards is investigating Rick Stein for misleading advertising of his smoked salmon @SevernWye which strongly suggests it is caught in the wild but is almost certainly farmed in Faroes, Ireland, Scotland or Australia @RickSteinRest @Rick_Stein https://t.co/LJd5Zq3qYE pic.twitter.com/EzPCxqTPvY

Did you know that the Norwegian Government's Pension Fund (derived from Norway's oil revenues) is the largest or 2nd largest shareholder in companies which account for 80% of 'Scottish' salmon farming? @Folketrygdfond @MowiScotlandLtd @salmon_scottish https://t.co/4P1m3g2CvT pic.twitter.com/Sl6bFlcwaK
