Here on the Pacific Coast we are told the wild salmon is endangered, and directed to the salmon farming for a source. And now they're telling us not to eat the farmed salmon. Hmmmm........ya think PETA's got their green tentacles in here?

PETA and the west coast fishermen. Farmed salmon is much cheaper than fished salmon, so the fishermen are complaining about the competition -- and scaring people is one way to do so. But PETA types have a different agenda. They know people won't be able to tell the difference between farmed and wild salmon. So they just won't eat salmon. There may be sound ecological reasons for this (salmon are carnivores, and how many land-based carnivores do we eat? It's too high up the food chain to be efficient on a large scale) but there is also the meat-is-scary go-vegetarian agenda. Tough to sort it all out.
