Animal Concern is calling on celebrity chef Rick Stein to stop sourcing farmed salmon from the bloody waters of the Faroe Islands - please write to Rick Stein online here   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rick Stein's online shop states that "the salmon is sourced from two salmon farms in the Faroe Islands".

"Rick Stein shamefully promotes Faroese farmed salmon," said Don Staniford, Campaign Manger for Animal Concern, during a protest outside a Rick Stein promotional event on the Wirral (22 September 2021).  "There are 101 reasons not to eat farmed salmon whether it's from Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Chile, Australia, Norway or the Faroes.  If you've seen the TV footage and newspaper coverage of the slaughter in the 'Grind', you've got the blood of thousands of whales and dolphins on your hands if you're buying Faroese farmed salmon.  Don't put it on your plate, don't support this barbaric, horrific industry.  Take the pledge not to eat farmed salmon.  Don't buy Faroese seafood - it's a bad choice for animal welfare."

"We're calling on people to boycott Faroese food," continued Don Staniford, Campaign Manger for Animal Concern.  "Please sign a petition asking the Government to stop Faroese food flooding into the UK and tell the Faroese Government that the slaughter of whales and dolphins via the 'Grind' is not to be tolerates in a humane society.  Boycott 'Frankenstein' salmon!"

Pressure is building against sourcing seafood from the Faroes with a petition to the UK Government already attracting over 15,000 signatures in a few days of being launched by Dominic Dyer.

Dominic Dyer makes a powerful case for sanctions against the Faroes in an article in Mail+ (22 September 2021).

 

 

 

 

Rick Stein was forced to admit back in April 2021 that he sourced farmed salmon from the bloody waters of the Faroes following a complaint to Trading Standards.

Whilst Rick Stein's salmon supplier remains silent, Faroese salmon farmer Bakkafrost (owner of The Scottish Salmon Company) has publicly condemned the slaughter of dolphins in the Faroes.

How long before Rick Stein does the right thing and stops sourcing salmon from the Faroes?
