The Sunday Times & Ferret reported (5 December 2021):
“It is sickening to see that for years many farms run by Scottish Sea Farms had not even reported when or how often they were dumping this pollution” said @JohnAitchison1 @TheSoundOfJura https://t.co/y7OocLV8kG @rspcaassured @scotseafarms @SSPCA_Kirsteen @SSPCA_Mike @ciwf

"The reprimand from @ScottishEPA led to @RSPCA_official also sending @scotseafarms a formal warning letter in October 2021. The charity was 'extremely concerned' & said the company had breached its membership agreement with @rspcaassured" https://t.co/BUPoCVMKDx @marksandspencer

"There is no story here," claims Anne Anderson @scotseafarms (formerly of @ScotlandSalmon & @ScottishEPA). Errr, yeah – so why did The Sunday Times & The Ferret publish articles? https://t.co/BUPoCVMKDx and https://t.co/y7OocLV8kG @rspcaassured @marksandspencer @FerretScot
