Dec 28th, 2012 7:13 AM
Interview Opportunity - December 28, 2012What:SalmonFeedlotBoycott.com has speakers available for interviews on the impacts and consequences of farmed salmon feedlots on the marine environment on Canada’s east and west coasts. They can also address why you should participate in a boycott of salmon feedlot products as your New Year’s resolution.
Sample questions:
• Is it true that when salmon farms are established, wild salmon go into sharp decline?
• How can a salmon farm impact lobster populations in Eastern Canada?
• Why should I be worried about the frequent number of viruses (ISA, piscine reovirus and salmon alpha virus) being found in Canadian fish farms (such as in Newfoundland last week) and is the CFIA doing enough?
• Why should I be concerned about December 21, 2012 "frankenfish" decision from last week by the US Food and Drug Administration to support genetically modified salmon (GMO) or transgenic salmon being raised (in Canada) for human consumption?
• Is the biggest impact in B.C. sea lice killing the young salmon smolts before they get to sea?
• Why are their protests against salmon farms in eastern and western Canada, Scotland, Norway, Ireland and even New Zealand?
• Should I be worried about eating farmed salmon or feeding pet food containing farmed salmon to my companion animals?
• How does the boycott work and why did you develop www.salmonfeedlotboycott.com?To schedule interviews with SalmonFeedlotBoycott.com, contact:
