Earlier this week (28 June), $camon $cotland visited the head office of farmed salmon greenwashers Marks & Spencers in London:
$camon $cotland is supporting Ecohustler's campaign against M&S:
"The Ecohustler salmon campaign has successfully raised awareness about issues around the factory farming of salmon," said Matt Mellen of Ecohustler in an exclusive interview this week. "Our videos and articles have been viewed hundreds of thousands of times. Off the back of this we secured 115,000 signitures calling for M&S to lead the way, be honest and stop calling the factory farmed salmon 'responsibly sourced'. M&S have engaged in a dialogue but they are not shifting their position which we are very disappointed in. The M&S brand is supposed to have quality and sustainability baked in and this is clearly not the case with their salmon products."

M&S say their factory farmed #salmon is "responsibly sourced." 💩
We know this is not true.
This summer, 115,000 UK shoppers signed our petition calling on M&S to come clean about the true impacts. 🌍
They are ignoring us - so we are escalating. pic.twitter.com/wQKpRzsuTv

$camon $cotland wrote to M&S (who sources "responsibly sourced" Scottish salmon from Scottish Sea Farms) back in February:
Anyone for M&S’s Virus-Laden Scottish Salmon (don’t worry, it’s “responsibly sourced” & @rspcaassured)?!https://t.co/A1AHbV9xFs @marksandspencer @scotseafarms @LeroySeafood @RSPCA_PATeam @Ecohustler

How many ISA-ridden Scottish salmon have been sold by M&S? #marksandspencer pic.twitter.com/kkNz7OcV1F
Scottish Salmon Watch reported in December 2021:
'Scottish' Sea Farms (real name Norskott Havbruk @LeroySeafood) claim an annual mortality rate of 9%* @scotseafarms yet data @ScotlandSalmon shows average cummulative mortality at farms harvested out in 2020 & 2021 was 14% with 41% in Loch Kishorn! https://t.co/YP7xPmmrFt pic.twitter.com/zOmL4I5G4S

In November 2021, Scottish Salmon Watch filed complaints with advertising and trading Standards - including against M&S's "responsibly sourced" Scottish salmon:
In July 2020, Scottish Sea Farms called the police after Matt Mellen of Ecohustler dived near a salmon farm in Loch Creran leading to a landmark apology from Police Scotland:
Scottish Sea Farms "sent a barge around seemingly to ram us" @Ecohustler "Then they called the police" @policescotland "tormenting sentient animals is okay but snorkeling over to witness the carnage is not" @scotseafarms https://t.co/8enYytYDRV @LeroySeafood @H_S_E @MCA_media pic.twitter.com/BBV8Hnij7i

Scottish Sea Farms called the police in July 2019 when Scottish Salmon Watch dared to sail close to a salmon farm at Shuna in Loch Linne:
This is a very serious issue of @policescotland attempting to deny the public right to navigate freely. This is #Scotland moving towards #Trump politics. @HumzaYousaf @ScotGovFM @marinescotland @strathearnrose @markruskell https://t.co/hs8437gqKq

It's not difficult to understand why Norskott Havbruk (Scottish Sea Farms) wants the public to stay away from their disease-ridden cages. Here's photos of disease-ridden salmon farmed by Scottish Sea Farms (obtained via FOI despite threats by lawyers acting for Scottish Sea Farms and The Scottish Salmon Company):
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
