"Fish health and welfare is fundamental to responsible salmon farming" claims @salmon_scottish "Unfortunately, there were a number of fish mortalities and they have been disposed of responsibly in line with current regulations" https://t.co/JdIgW7SLr3 @SSPOsays @Folketrygdfond pic.twitter.com/5xZGaV4Ie7

Please retract publication of the "unlawful intrusion" comment in the statement by the spokesperson from Kames.  It is false, baseless and libellous.

 

What law is Kames relying upon?  If Kames cannot provide evidence of "unlawful" activity - and cite the relevant legislation which their claim relies upon - then please retract their false comment. 

 

I just Tweeted: https://twitter.com/TheGAAIA/status/1441393249738903558 (Fish Farmer have blocked me so you cannot see it).

 

 

Thanks,

 

Don

 

 

 

Kames falsely claim filming inside their Shuna Castle fish farm represents "unlawful intrusion" - what 'law' is @kamesfishfarm relying on here? Please retract this baseless claim @fishfarmermag - there is no law of trespass in Scotland! @policescotland https://t.co/JdIgW7SLr3 pic.twitter.com/5gDjyDHI8m

I’ll make that change for now while I look into this. I think your account may have been blocked by one of my predecessors.
