Earlier this month, the Faroese Government threatened Bakkafrost with a fine of £7.7 million for breaches of animal welfare.

In September 2021, Bakkafrost sought to distance itself as a company from the bloody slaughter of dolphins and whales in the Faroes:

This is the very brief statement from the CEO of #Bakkafrost (largest seafood exporter on #FaroeIslands) regarding the massacre of 1428 Atlantic White-Sided Dolphins at Skálabotnur beach on Sunday 12 September 2021, and my response to it. For the dolphins, #BoycottFaroeIslands! https://t.co/Kh5OFu6ijU pic.twitter.com/SmhnCRGU74

Bakkafrost is registered in the Faroe Islands but the largest shareholder is the Norwegian Government.

In November 2020, Scottish Salmon Watch wrote to the Norwegian Government asking them to divest from the their unethical and irresponsible ownership of The Scottish Salmon Company (and other salmon farming companies operating in Scotland).

Did you know that the Norwegian Government's Pension Fund (derived from Norway's oil revenues) is the largest or 2nd largest shareholder in companies which account for 80% of 'Scottish' salmon farming? @Folketrygdfond @MowiScotlandLtd @salmon_scottish https://t.co/4P1m3g2CvT pic.twitter.com/Sl6bFlcwaK
