GAAIA re-launches "Salmon Farming Kills" campaign

The Global Alliance Against Industrial Aquaculture is fighting back against the Norwegian-owned salmon farming industry and their heavy-handed lawyers who closed down the GAAIA web-site in March 2011.  

GAAIA today (22nd January 2012) re-launched the web-site with the new domain name 'Salmon Farming Kills' - a day after Norwegian TV broadcast a news report on the lawsuit.

"Put that in your pipe and smoke it," said Don Staniford (author of the forthcoming report
'Smoke on the Water, Cancer on the Coast').  "Norwegian-owned salmon farming is blowing smoke all over the globe.  The industry's PR campaigns are nothing more than smoke and mirrors which must be exposed.  For the sake of wild salmon, fishermen, First Nations, bears, eagles, orcas, future generations and our global ocean we must stub out salmon farming from the face of the blue planet."

"The warning message to the Norwegian multinationals who are spreading disease-ridden salmon farms around the world like a malignant cancer is simple," Staniford continued.  "Quit salmon farming and quit spreading lies and misinformation.  For consumers the choice is clear - Quit eating farmed salmon or keep endangering the health of wild salmon and our global ocean.  We need to speak for the salmon and stand tall against the Norwegian-owned corporations killing our wild fish, spreading infectious diseases and misinformation about the health of farmed salmon.  The writing is on the wall for this Norwegian-owned salmon farming industry."
