Humpback whale that was trapped on a salmon farm at the Isle of Skye is now free, but with an increase of these whales visiting Scotland, it's only a question of when not if this happens again.

Wild Atlantic Salmon in Ireland are under threat from farmed salmon. Inter breeding with farmed salmon could wipe them out.

The Soil Association and the RSPCA assured scheme are not fit for purpose, neither has an upper limit for mortality, a farmer could lose 99% of their fish and the remaining 1% would still get the "high welfare" rubber stamp.

Lots of papers today covering the report from Scottish parliament committee.
It's a shame organisations like the RSPCA & Soil Association can't pay attention to this report, they need to stop certifying farms with high mortality.

Salmon farmers don’t have to report when farmed fish escape during transport!
Wild Atlantic salmon are an endangered species and escapes like this could finish them off.

It speaks to the gravity of the problems across the Assured scheme that Chris, who was so proud to represent the RSPCA, has decided his only choice now is to leave. By endorsing animal agriculture instead of protecting those trapped within it, the RSPCA has lost its way.
It is with enormous sadness that I have resigned from my role as president of the RSPCA . I would like to register my respect and admiration for all the staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to protect animals from cruelty . Thank you .

1/3 This scandal with so-called 'organic' salmon is just the tip of the iceberg. Not only are consumers being duped into paying premium prices for farmed salmon doused in toxic chemicals, but the entire practice of fish farming is an environmental disaster.
