On April 1, 2006 The Salmon farmers shut the door on disease testing of their fish on the feedlot sites (Ministry Agriculture and Foods) This seems wrong. Can all feedlots in Canada chose not to have their animals tested on site? While the fish are probably tested somewhere down the line before being sold to the public, allowing BC salmon feedlots to refuse disease testing is not not safe for our wild fisheries and certainly leads a person to suspect there are disease issues they are hiding. If you want to do something about this you can go to salmonaresacred.org right-hand column and download and print this 8x10 poster and place wherever farm salmon are sold. Photograph where you have posted this if you wish and send the picture to salmonaresacred.org.
We don't have big advertising budgets, but we are a large number of people....the salmon people. Government has failed us here, it is up to us.
