Please boycott ALL farmed salmon - including 'organic' @SoilAssociation, "responsibly sourced" @sainsburys & @rspcaassured https://t.co/FpKosacuJq @salmon_scottish @SSPOsays pic.twitter.com/1xyrcNBjY3
Please take the pledge not to eat farmed salmon - even Scottish salmon marketed as 'organic', certified as 'environmentally friendly' by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council or as 'welfare friendly' via RSPCA Assured!
Scottish Salmon Watch reported in March 2021:

Next month look out for "Greenwashing Scottish Salmon":
Scottish Salmon Watch reported in March 2021:
A new report - "Underwater Cages, Parasites & Dead Fish" - featuring welfare abuse on salmon farms is a must read! https://t.co/rwypa1sg8y

Netflix's global hit 'Seaspiracy' quite literally lifts the lid on RSPCA Assured Scottish salmon:

Watch video footage shot by Scottish Salmon Watch during the same night as Seaspiracy visited Mowi's RSPCA Assured salmon farm in Loch Linnhe:
BBC Countryfile featured an RSPCA Assured salmon farm in Loch Creran in December 2020:

Surely it is reasonable to question why @rspcaassured still certify salmon farms? pic.twitter.com/lfVVFa5GE8
26% mortality rate on Scottish salmon farms (in just the sea phase of production) - that means one in four RSPCA certified salmon are dying a horrible death! @rspcaassured @SSPOsays @marinescotland https://t.co/G4dXeILsTk @BBCCountryfile @joe_crowley @SalmonTroutCons @scotgp pic.twitter.com/4Nm8CV3fLA

In October 2020, shocking video footage blew the RSPCA's claims of welfare-friendly Scottish salmon out of the water!

Mowi's RSPCA Assured Scottish salmon from Loch Greshornish was exposed as a fraud via video footage and damning photos in the Summer of 2020:

In September 2020, Scottish Salmon Watch exposed welfare abuse at RSPCA Assured Kames Fish Farming in Loch Tralaig:

In April 2020, Scottish Salmon Watch called for a boycott of RSPCA Assured salmon farms.
Be Sure to Boycott RSPCA Assured Scottish Salmon! https://t.co/61yIroIUBp Shocking new photos published of Mowi's disease-ridden North Shore feedlot in Loch Erisort @marinescotland @MowiScotlandLtd "visibly moribund fish" & "significant lice damage" @sainsburys @rspcaassured pic.twitter.com/gjLaeqpcFz

Shocking photos of welfare abuse at RSPCA Assured salmon farms published in February 2020 led to calls for the RSPCA to stop certifying salmon farms via RSPCA Assured.
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

As RSPCA 'VIPs' you have the power to stop suffering on salmon farms in Scotland - please tell the RSPCA executive to end certification of Scottish salmon! @rspcaassured https://t.co/oFC20taxzO @ChrisGPackham @brianblessed @BillOddie @DrBrianMay @PeterEgan6 @CarolineLucas #RSPCA pic.twitter.com/nYwOM5yTF6

Surely the RSPCA should send inspectors into salmon farms to stop suffering & cruelty rather than receive ££££££s via certification? @rspcaassured @RSPCA_Amy @RSPCA_official @RachRSPCA @RSPCA_LabAnimal @RSPCAChris @WainwrightChris @CarolineLDNvet https://t.co/oFC20taxzO #RSPCA pic.twitter.com/FN69jUfGwy
