PhoenixSerenityOne of my fisherman friends brought me some wild #salmon & free #corn 🙂
Cooked up for family. I'm having just a wee bit as my friend is taking me out in 2 hours.
Salmon was caught near Maple Bay - Cowichan area waters.
Jon Het.@msquebanh I thought salmon were common on Vancouver island??
@Jon_Kramer Wild salmon population is dropping due to ongoing ecocide & open net salmon farming. I volunteer with wild salmon alliance here. We do stream keeping, watershed cleanups, wild salmon stocking & fish monitoring. Almost all salmon sold in restaurants & stores here are farmed. Jim Pattison, BC billionaire owns stocks in open net salmon farms & all his grocery stores sell farmed salmon. Don't buy or eat farmed salmon!
@msquebanh This is something I should know more about. Are there other methods of farming salmon that are not destructive? I do buy farmed salmon, from Norway. Should I not??
@Jon_Kramer Don't buy anymore! I've been part of a large grassroots coalition here to try & get all open net fish farms & their toxic hatcheries with frankenfish removed from BC waters. Almost all the fish farms here are owned by Norwegian companies & they have a lobbyist group in Canada that bribes our politicians & threaten any who try to stop their greedy ecocide.
Please look at eating other fish if you can't buy any wild.
@msquebanh Kentucky here. We are not getting wild. I'll steer clear for a bit.
Just so you know, I still look sideways at grapes since Cesar Chavez called for their boycott before color was invented....
@Jon_Kramer Thank you. I'd really like for more folks to #BoycottFarmedSalmon.
The open net salmon farms here have killed multiple marine mammals. It's killed land mammals & birds too because they do illegal toxic shallow pit dumps in pure wilderness. I've seen countless wildlife die at these dump sites via drones because they block access to all public. They don't want ppl to see their environmental crimes.
