RSPCA claim they "did everything they reasonably could" with respect to welfare abuse @scotseafarms @marksandspencer @SSPOsays in Loch Creran @BBCCountryfile @joe_crowley https://t.co/G4dXeILsTk
Surely it is reasonable to question why @rspcaassured still certify salmon farms? pic.twitter.com/lfVVFa5GE8— Don Staniford (@TheGAAIA) December 7, 2020

26% mortality rate on Scottish salmon farms (in just the sea phase of production) – that means one in four RSPCA certified salmon are dying a horrible death! @rspcaassured @SSPOsays @marinescotland https://t.co/G4dXeILsTk @BBCCountryfile @joe_crowley @SalmonTroutCons @scotgp pic.twitter.com/4Nm8CV3fLA

This is what Scottish salmon has become.
Why is anyone eating it?@FoodUnwrappedTV @GreggAWallace @JohnTorode1 @ChefTomKerridge @CorrigansFood @TomKitchin @GordonRamsay @raymond_blanc @NickNairn @michelrouxjr @marcuswareing @Alain_Ducasse1 @jc_novelli @ArpegeLive @ScottishSPCA pic.twitter.com/JwcMaeBhrO

"I don't recognise your figure (26% mortality)" says @tavishscott to @joe_crowley @BBCCountryfile https://t.co/orFCNlIgG7
Even Mr Magoo would recognise the fact that over a quarter of all Scottish salmon are dying in just the sea-phase of production! @marinescotland @SSPOsays pic.twitter.com/OwDboVoqgA— Don Staniford (@TheGAAIA) December 7, 2020
Here's a video clip of Tavish Scott being interviewed by Joe Crowley of BBC Countryfile:
"I don't recognise your figure" says @tavishscott to @joe_crowley on @BBCCountryfile
You mean the 26.7% mortality rate for Scottish farmed salmon published in October by the Scottish Government! @marinescotland @GreenerScotland @SP_RECcttee
What figure does @SSPOsays recognise? pic.twitter.com/CTB59xBNLe— Don Staniford (@TheGAAIA) December 8, 2020
BBC Countryfile (6 December 2020) also featured an interview with Chris Ninnes, CEO of the Aquaculture Stewardship Council:
"The most rigorous standards in the world" claims @ASC_aqua on @BBCCountryfile "an organisation who encorages responsible practices" claims @joe_crowley https://t.co/C51W8wp9cz
Errr so why does the ASC condone the use of carcinogenic Formaldehyde @ScotlandMowi in Loch Lochy? pic.twitter.com/4DhmVkFqFl— Don Staniford (@TheGAAIA) December 7, 2020
Chris Ninnes claims that @ASC_aqua standards demand less than 10% mortality on salmon farms @BBCCountryfile @joe_crowley https://t.co/C51W8wp9cz
So why is Glenfinnan salmon farm @ScotlandMowi with a mortality rate of 20% & 61,188 morts in one week in August still certified? pic.twitter.com/UtYmlg24Z8— Don Staniford (@TheGAAIA) December 7, 2020
The Aquaculture Stewardship Council's commitment that 10%+ mortality will rule out certification @ASC_aqua would rule out @ScotlandMowi in Loch Ainort (Cairidh) & Linnhe (Gorsten) – not to mention most other salmon farms in Scotland! @SSPOsays @joe_crowleyhttps://t.co/zBalDqlabc pic.twitter.com/MifaIuRr1E

Anyone for "responsibly certified" Scottish salmon doused in carcinogenic chemical, battered to death, ridden with infectious diseases, served with a side of slaughtered seal & lashings of lice? https://t.co/eY2gaWV3eD @ASC_aqua @MowiScotlandLtd @FergusEwingMSP @rspcaassured pic.twitter.com/lljHE7UyBn

If it’s “fairly easy to achieve social distancing” at salmon farms @SSPOsays, then why were @BBCCountryfile denied a quick look at some healthy, nutritious salmon?

Why does @rspcaassured certify 70% of Scottish salmon farms as welfare-friendly when there is systemic suffering & abuse? @RSPCA_official @RSPCA_Frontline @AnimalLawCon @Animal_Alliance @animalpharm @AnimalEquality @AnimalAid @media_ciwf @PETAUK @HSIUKorg https://t.co/ZuzAis8gEr pic.twitter.com/1rWDdk5Hsc

Edie Bowles @Animallawyersuk said the dossier, compiled by Don Staniford, a critic of salmon farming, indicated “systemic and obvious” pain & suffering that could justify legal action against @scotgov @MairiGougeon @SSPOsays https://t.co/ZuzAis8gEr @SundayTimesScot @ciwf @scotgp pic.twitter.com/RPVIAL3KlS
