Don't buy farmed salmon video

Don't eat or buy farmed salmon, this video tells you why. When a sea lice infestation killed off several million young wild pink salmon migrating past a cluster of salmon farms off the northeast coast of Vancouver Island, public demands to close the salmon farms became louder. The Wilderness Committee set up a roving protest with the Union of BC Indian Chiefs in early 2003 in front of Lower Mainland establishments selling farmed salmon to educate the public on the perils of buying a product that threatens the wild runs' very survival.

Don't eat or buy Alaska wild salmon. Up to 41% of the salmon that Alaska exports has been raised in plastic trays, fed pellets, held in open net pens for up to 12 months, then released into the wild. Alaska farms up to 1.5 billion salmon each year to sustain their fake wild salmon fishery.

@SalmonSlayer1991 I have eaten both. I also like to sport fish. Taste the same to me. You either know nothing of farming or you are a hypocrit.

@Folkboat11 some how you can tell the differance between a fish hatched in captivity and one that hatched in the wild then both released to feed on the same source then you need a job as a taster

@Folkboat11 i said alaskan salmon started in trays the same way hatchery salmon are but instead of having a goal of protection of wild salmon(hatchery) they have a goal for havest which in turn still relives some pressure form wild stocks. i guess i dont have a point i was merely saying that you claim they are raised in open net pen and while this may be true it is ONLY for an extremly short time in order to acclimate the parrs to smolts. i havent a clue how your taste buds react but i guess if
