Did you kill bees and frogs and put bangers up cats bottoms when you were a kid? Why not try a job in salmon farming? 🦠🤢🤮☠️

Following @jaffa_dr’s idiotic theory that salmon farms don’t kill wild salmon & the LFT’s field data proving that they do, here’s 2 graphs of my own.
Is it plausible that wild salmon probably die at the same rate from the same lice & diseases in the same water as feedlot fish?🤷🏻♂️

Not only do you pollute the natural environment of these communities but you hire a company @AECOM (who are accused of manipulative greenwash) to try and prove it’s a good thing!
No wonder people have had enough of salmon farming.

'Highest Technical Standards In The World' yet last year 1/3 of farmed #ScottishSalmon suffered and died before harvest. Is that on the FAQ page?
#Scottishsalmon farmers operate to some of the highest technical standards in the world and work tirelessly to prevent #fish escapes.
If you haven’t already, visit our new #FAQ page on our site that answers other common questions.

The reality of living with #ScottishSalmon farming. Industrialisation by stealth of #rural areas. It's like living beside any smelly, noisy, disruptive factory. Belo 'well boat' lights strobbing through a window in the wee hours. It only suits those profiting from despoilation.
@AECOM's independent Communities Report explores how salmon farming supports people and places across #rural, coastal and island #Scotland.
Five community case studies highlight local experiences and impacts.

Semi-closed” (ie “open”) experimental salmon farm proposed for Loch Nevis.
If this passes planning, it’ll expose the @scotgov regulatory system as untenable.

The sector presents 0.2% of Scotland’s GDP and 0.0084% of UK GDP.
No major salmon farming companies operating in Scotland are listed on the FTSE.

Unfortunately they are jumping to krill. #Krill has fallen by 80% since the 70s, it needs protection. One Norwegian company takes 64% of Antartic krill quota annually, and the majority of that is for farmed #salmon changingmarkets.org/report/k…

Did you know that the constant search for high quality protein to feed migratory, carnivourous, farmed #ScottishSalmon is one of the reasons it can never be sustainable? fairr.org/engagements/sustai…
Did you know that in the wild, young #salmon are not pink and only develop their well-known pink colour when they eat foods rich in healthy antioxidants called carotenoids.
Farmed #Scottishsalmon are given these carotenoids in their feed when they move from hatcheries to the sea, mirroring the natural dietary shift in the wild.

The World Health Organisation says that antibiotic resistance is a major and urgent global health threat. In 2024 the #ScottishSalmon industry underreported their antibiotic use by 63%. We do not want a Tasmanian situation in Scotland. #OffTheTable

The New York Times exposé on salmon farming is big news.
It shines a spotlight that will be read by global leaders.
Let’s hope people continue to get it off the table.

The #Salmon industry will have you believe that the krill that they catch in the Antarctic to pelletise for their factory farmed fish is sustainably sourced, but its clear they are already under pressure. nationalgeographic.com/anima… via @NatGeo

This is called 'community washing', offering cash strapped coastal villages money that they desperately need in return for acceptance. No #salmon farms are Scottish owned, you are sucking up government grants that would be better spent on locally owned buisinesses.

'Any accounting of the true impact of aquaculture has to start not with the farm but with the feed'
Anyone selling farmed #ScottishSalmon either doesn't have a clue, or doesn't care about the horrific impacts of this industry. @waitrose @marksandspencer

Scottish lochs are being polluted by salmon farms, and taxpayers are handing this toxic industry millions in grants and subsidies.

Salmon farming:
A five-year investigation has highlighted the ruinous cost of a global industry that is depleting sea life and fuelling food insecurity – and ‘flat wrong’ to claim otherwise.
