‘Wrong On So Many Levels’: Scotland Urged To Crack Down On Salmon Farming

A recent investigation by Animal Equality UK has brought attention to the inhumane conditions in salmon farming in Scotland, with footage showing dead and dying fish with injuries, diseases, and flesh-eating lice. The industry is facing criticism for its treatment of salmon, as well as its contribution to environmental issues such as rising on-farm mortalities due to the climate crisis.

Calls have been made for the Scottish government to take action and stop the expansion of the salmon farming industry. More than 2,000 people have signed a petition urging for change, highlighting the need to transition to a more sustainable and humane industry. Consumers are also encouraged to boycott fish products in order to support a brighter future for aquatic animals and the Scottish communities dependant on the industry.
