Why does @ciwf only call for a moratorium on reckless expansion of salmon farming when all the video evidence demands an end to sea cage farming in Scotland? https://t.co/l7yATM19mr

The only way to "Stop Salmon Suffering" is to stop salmon farming. Full stop. Period. Ban it now!
Surely the shocking welfare abuse uncovered by video surveillance - in addition to damning photos published @marinescotland - demands shutting down salmon farming now? How can you condone the status quo and be content with a moratorium on expansion? @media_ciwf @philip_ciwf pic.twitter.com/XrxqseoVs5

Here's an email from Scottish Salmon Watch to Compassion In World Farming:

Subject: CIWF's watered down 'moratorium' message lets diseased & abused Scottish salmon slip off the hook - please Rethink!

CIWF's misty-eyed view that salmon farming can continue without compromising the suffering of salmon and does not need to be stopped immediately is as myopic as Mr Magoo! @CIWF_EU @media_ciwf @philip_ciwf

A scandal for sure - yet it is shameful that @media_ciwf & @onekindtweet are still happy for the salmon farming status quo to continue. Calling only for a moratorium on expansion despite shocking video evidence is weak & ill-judged https://t.co/3Oqal2w4Z1 @philip_ciwf @CIWF_EU pic.twitter.com/YTm0ShJ5zt

That message has been buried like the shit under salmon farms. Maybe a more direct 'End the Cage Age' message would resonate? https://t.co/UVhqNh5ZiQ

Edie Bowles @Animallawyersuk said the dossier, compiled by Don Staniford, a critic of salmon farming, indicated “systemic and obvious” pain & suffering that could justify legal action against @scotgov @MairiGougeon @SSPOsays https://t.co/ZuzAis8gEr @SundayTimesScot @ciwf @scotgp pic.twitter.com/RPVIAL3KlS
