Campaigner against the welfare nightmare & environmental pariah that is salmon farming

Just say no to drugs, say no to Scottish salmon. This Easter, consumers should follow the French in rejecting Scottish salmon contaminated with steroids, listeria, E.coli, enterococci and coliforms

REFUSED: The UK Government refuse to disclose information on rejections of Scottish salmon by France claiming it woud 'prejudice commercial interests' and 'could lead to financial losses' Does DEFRA/APHA work for consumers or the $almafia?

Triodos, what happened to your sustainable ambitions? 🤔 As of November 2024, Triodos has invested a shocking $16 million dollars in Bakkafrost, one of the world’s largest fish farming companies. (1/5)

EXCLUSIVE: Four shipments of Scottish salmon were "rejected & returned" by France - the latest in January 2025. Sadly APHA claims that "searching for and gathering it would involve a significant cost and diversion of resources". Why were the shipments of Scottish salmon rejected by France?

Salmon farmers in Scotland - aided & abetted by their legal friends - are resorting to legal action to shut down covert surveillance. Please help shine a light on the murky world of Scottish salmon!
