“Salmon farming in Scotland is dead in the warming water," said Don Staniford, Director of $camon $cotland. "A deadly cocktail of rising temperatures, swarms of jellyfish, toxic algal blooms, plagues of parasites and gill diseases is the death knell for Scottish salmon. This lethal industry is losing so much $almoney that shareholders in Norway must be crying into the fjords. Mass mortalities are leaping so fast that salmon farming in Scotland may not even last the decade. Feedlots must be closed down now as a matter of urgency to end the welfare nightmare for millions of suffering salmon. Shame on RSPCA Assured, the Soil Association and the ASC for greenwashing Scottish salmon.”
