Videos of Mort Disposal by The Scottish Salmon Company - like a serial killer disposing of dead bodies before the police arrive!

 

 

 

 

Watch gruesome video footage of mort disposal by The Scottish Salmon Company at their lice-infested salmon farm at West Strome in Loch Carron (a Marine Protected Area):

 

 

 

 

Jamie Moyes (who returned to film at the site on Wednesday 8 September 2021) comments in the video clip as he watches morts being lifted out of the salmon cages by the Naomi Jennifer work boat: 

 

“The dead boat – absolutely packed to the gunnels with death: at least thirty tonnes of dead salmon on there today from a few cages”.

Here's more video footage shot on Wednesday (8 September 2021) by Jamie Moyes - two days after Scottish Salmon Watch filmed shocking footage of welfare abuse inside The Scottish Salmon Company's West Strome salmon farm:

 

 

 

 

In the video clip shot on Wednesday (8 September), Jamie Moyes (who used to work on a salmon farm in nearby Loch Kishorn) says:

“So here’s the crane lifting up a huge – it’s really struggling, it’s pulling the boat over on its side – a huge bag of dead salmon.  Absolutely fucking stinking – it is making me sick.  Oh, there’s some falling in the water.  There it is – a big bag – a good tonne maybe, a tonne of dead salmon.  Tortured beings from this disgusting factory farm – oh, they’re all falling over the place, back into the sea, on the boat, for other crustaceans to eat and cause even more poison throughout our whole ecosystem.  This is factory farming in the Highlands of Scotland.  I would imagine they’ve been doing this constantly for the last 48 hours.  This is a sick farm.  Absolutely horrendous.  The smell is unbelievable.  Oh my God, it is shocking.  I’m not going anywhere – I’ll be here until dark documenting this extreme animal abuse.  This is Strome.  The Scottish Salmon Company.  Absolutely shocking.  No quality of life whatsoever, eaten alive, dying with disease, this industry must be banned.  How this is allowed – the only factory farming that dumps all its wastes and chemicals directly into the sea.  2021 – what the hell is going on?  Factory farming in the Highlands - a beautiful place destroyed by Norwegian billionaires.”

PR Horror Videos Reveal Welfare Abuse Inside Scottish Salmon & Trout Cages 12 September 2021 #10

 

 

“Scottish salmon leaves me sick to the stomach,” said Jamie Moyes, a vegan activist who acted as boat support to Scottish Salmon Watch.  “I used to work as a salmon farmer and I am ashamed that the Scottish Salmon Company is causing such horrific distress and suffering.  Anyone who watches this video footage will be put off eating Scottish salmon for life.  The Scottish Government needs to take immediate action to end the torture of thousands of farmed salmon dying in the cages in Loch Carron”.

 

 

 

 

 

Video footage shot on Wednesday (8 September 2021) shows that The Scottish Salmon Company had completely cleared out the cage where Scottish Salmon Watch had filmed on Monday (6 September 2021).

“So this is the cage we took footage of two days ago,” said Jamie Moyes in the video clip.  “You’ll see the footage – it was absolutely disgraceful.  The fish were in a hell of a state: eaten by lice, the worst I’ve ever seen.   And surprise surprise, 48 hours later this cage is empty.  If that doesn’t show guilt I don’t know what does.  One full cage 48 hours ago, empty now.  Where did they go?  And why were they emptied so quickly?  Because they were breaking animal welfare laws.   You really do have to be doing a terrible job to break these laws.  Cover up job”.

 

 

 

 

 

Scottish Salmon Watch filed an 'urgent' complaint early on Tuesday (7 September 2021) with Police Scotland's Wildlife Crime Unit, the Animal & Plant Health Agency and Marine Scotland but it is not known if any welfare inspectors have even visited the West Strome salmon farm yet.  Scottish Salmon Watch wrote again on Friday (10 September 2021):

Have inspectors visited the crime scene yet or are you going to wait until all the diseased dead bodies are buried?
 
Best fishes,
