SEATTLE—Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) issued the following statement on the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) announcement that it will no longer block importation of genetically engineered salmon.

A genetic freak of nature is opposed to genetic freaks of science. OooooK!
Down with the food dictators. If people want to eat GMO fish, which have never been proved harmful, that’s their business.
Let me know where they stock them, they sound like they could be great at the end of a line.
The only provable freaks out there appear to be Democrat congresscritters. Murray is an idiot. But then again, progressives always are.
I’m not surprised Patty is trying to protect the salmon industry here. In January last year a company farming Atlantic Salmon had a huge fish spill into the San Juan Islands and it has put a real damper on the salmon industry up here. The company that screwed up, some say on purpose, Cooke Aquaculture’s Cypress Island fish farm, has had their license jerked by the state and they were the last Atlantic salmon farm in the northwest.
Furthermore, Investigators determined the escape was much larger than Cooke told the public or state agencies, with as many as 263,000 fish released — not the 160,000 Cooke reported. As many as 206,000 Atlantics are still unaccounted for — more than double what Cooke told the public. “Cooke misled us,” said Amy Windrope, north Puget Sound regional director for the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
It is going to crash the market for salmon up here and it will also force the fish to spawn in this area and create a future Atlantic salmon run that will further harm the current industry numbers. Patty’s trying to keep her job by raising cane with this as the industry pores a lot of money into her campaigns. But as the saying goes, it may be, “too little too late.”

patty is out for patty,she is a pos.
Ugly could never describe this brain dead clown.
But Commie Patty is more than wiling to import a billion third world people.
Protect the fish and murder the babies. American fish have more value and we will just import the babies.
Oddly. today I ate some “Frakenfish Atlantic Salmon.” It was farm raised and half the price and tasted great. One and a half pounds for two people. Had some left over for our dogs.
I Put it on the grill with a little salt and pepper and butter. On the side was bell peppers and onion and squash wrapped in tin foil with the above same spices. Put the veggies on ten minutes before the fish and then the fish on the open grill. Twenty minutes total for a most delicious meal. About 14 bucks total for the meal for two. Washed it down with Jim Beam. We would have paid 70 bucks or more for the same meal in a restaurant.
I’m glad to hear you liked it. I’d have to twist my own arm pretty hard to buy farm-raised salmon, because of the price, but every once in a while I do splurge. I have no problem eating GMO food.
#2. Yes. It’s Frankenfish versus Mrs. Frankenstein. I’m betting on the fish. More tasty too and less oily.

says “ In 1996, ’97, and ’99, catastrophic events resulted in the escape of 591,000 Atlantic salmon according to WDFW.”
The fallout was...?
I’m not sure what the real damage is. Maybe these farmed fish will compete with the native fish, and the natives get more dollar/pound at the market?
Although I can’t figure out how we can buy salmon at all - isn’t it a “threatened” species that we are spending billions of dollars on to save? (Tearing down dams, improving waterways, etc.)
GMO salmon eat all the others - GMO fish will eliminate all wild salmon
The fallout was...?
Fewer wild salmon with more disease and higher prices.
GMO will finish the job; and then the price will really go up. More “modifications” to subsequent GMO fish will change them into what ever the government regulates these artificial fish must contain along with FDA approvals.

I will not buy farm raised fish, period.
How bout Mississippi or Arkansas raised catfish?
