Ireland Against Salmon Farms: Potentially Disastrous Situation on IrishShores


Ireland Against Salmon Farms: Potentially Disastrous Situation on Irish Shores: The shocking image below was sent to us today and it really calls into question the Irish governments so called monitoring regime carried out by the Marine Institute .

A FEW FACTS

  1. Farmed Salmon have 5 times the level of polychlorinated biphenil  (PCB) . 
  2. They're fed chemicals to give them colour & unnatural growth , a farmed salmon is naturally grey in colour , so a pink dye is introduced into their diet to make it more appealing to the consumer . 
  3. Are fed pellets of chicken feces .
  4. Are administered antibiotics at higher levels than any other live stock , due to disease such as sea lice . 
  5. Has less omega 3 due to lack of a wild diet .
  6. Are crowded into small areas inhibiting movement & causing disease .
  7. Salmon Farms at sea create a surge of up to 10,000% the population of sea lice around the cages  , any wild salmon or sea trout that pass by these cages and become infected will eventually die from the effects of sea lice . 
  8. The majority of salmon on supermarket shelves & in restaurants is labeled as organic even though there is nothing truly organic about it . It is in fact farmed salmon & should not be bought . They have used the word organic salmon on the packaging to manipulate & confuse consumers into buying their toxic farmed salmon . 
  9. It has been revealed in scientific studies that farmed salmon is so carcinogenic that it is advised not to have more than 2 portions a week .
  10. According to the authorities only farmed salmon can be labeled organic , due to the fact a wild salmons diet can not be tracked .
