Target stops selling farm-raised salmon nationwide

[Folkboat11]

Report on this Andrea pls. It is a good thing " Vivian Krause' is in to research. Look for her interviews on Youtube. American foundations have payed over $90 million to promote so called wild Alaskan over farmed. Millions of that money went to so-called grassroots protests in western Canada. Why didn't these foundations put any money to enviromental action in the Gulf of Mexico, on the eastren seaboard or the Alaskan coast? Perhaps they may have been better off watching thier own waters.

Google"A charity with plenty of very long tentacles". We are being Americanized, and you wont beleive who are in their pockets.

"They are de facto political organizations in B.C.," he says. "They're distorting the balance of power where a few people control these huge amounts of money that flow in from the U.S." And, he believes the growing impact of environmental groups is only hurting British Columbia's economic potential".

It turns out Target didn't sell farm-raised salmon in the first place. Sneaky little buggers. So, it was all promotion and zero "sustainability". As if eating a wild species that is basically endangered (California) is sustainable anyways...

@crampedu2 But they sell Alaska farmed-raised salmon dont they?

[crampedu2]

@Folkboat11 Good point. Yes, Target does sell Alaska farm-raised salmon. "Wild-caught Alaskan salmon" = "hatchery, ranched, man-manipulated salmon". Not that there's anything wrong with hatchery, ranched or farmed salmon. Salmon is good...end of sentence.

Marketing. All marketing. You are a wise man Folkboat11(or woman).
