Fish farming - a false economy

Salmon farming is a drop in the ocean of Scotland’s economy, 0.2 per cent according to the Scottish government, yet its impact is disproportionately devastating. This is not a sustainable homegrown industry, it is Scottish taxpayers subsidising foreign-owned corporations whose loyalty lies not with Scotland but their bottom line.

Missed this alarming FT investigation earlier this week 😬

The tl;dr is that European #salmon farming - long touted as #sustainable - is destroying West African food security and biodiversity.

The article criticised #fishfarming prominent position in the media. I believe that #trollfarm were used to make this picture flagged as #fakenews . Similar things happened when I shared another screenshot from Canada #fishfarms. This morning I was lazy and shared the image instead of searching for the link. I am surprised how the blue F silences activism. Is that legal?

@RussCheshire Absolutely agree! #RSPCA #greenwash of #toxic #salmon #aquaculture #farms is a shameful stain on their reputation and credibility.

As someone who (for my sins!) used to be part of the #FishFarming #industry in #Scotland I believe that nothing about the current #corporate #multinational business model is #sustainable, or #fish #welfare friendly.

#RSPCA_assured badge is a complete con of consumers.
I doubt very much if #SSPCA would stoop so low for #filthyLucre from filthy fish😡
