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.

Yes! Now that they've scared everyone away from beef, now they can go after fish with their scare tactics. Chicken next? I'm betting we'll be seeing more and more of this non-science regarding meat in the near future. Lamb? Hmmmmm.............I'm getting hungry. Be back later.
