Leaked video footage shot inside @rspcaassured Grieg Seafood on the Isle of Skye - no wonder they offloaded their Skye salmon farms @scotseafarms and then to @LochDuartSalmon https://t.co/bz4n4l92jt@Dunvegan_Castle @Ianblackford_MP @IainNaHoe @ScotlandSalmon @Folketrygdfond pic.twitter.com/L4uxuQ2sRI

Compassion in World Farming: "We are requesting the completion of an MOU – this is as we are naming the producers, so to try to protect ourselves from legal challenges have needed to be particularly careful for the wording of the investigation" @ScotlandSalmon @philip_ciwf pic.twitter.com/vPw2MTqLJY

"At Compassion, we often don’t mention the names of farms/producers in our investigation. Although we do not purposefully mention the RSPCA, they certify farms covered by these producers, and as a result it’ll indirectly put pressure on them" @ciwf @rspcaassured @RSPCA_official pic.twitter.com/Ddv7MxIMOJ

CIWF’s ‘Rethink Fish MOU for Groups’ (which Scottish Salmon Watch refused to sign) included:
“Agree to keep the focus, target and messaging on the Scottish government, not on the salmon producers, farmers or the RSPCA. For example, please only tag the Scottish government in social media posts and target the Scottish government in any email action when calling for them to halt the expansion of the industry. Please do not attack/criticise retailers in your country, or campaign against the producers where footage was gathered in the investigation (Mowi, etc) by targeting them on social/supporter emails/etc. This is to ensure that Compassion can build on the impact of our global campaign by establishing relationships with these producers and working with them to improve welfare standards.”
Compassion Compromised: "Agree to keep the target on @scotgov not on the salmon producers, farmers or RSPCA. Do not attack/criticise retailers or campaign against the producers where footage was gathered in the investigation (Mowi, etc)" @media_ciwf @ScotlandSalmon @rspcaassured pic.twitter.com/0UR8RXuW7U

“The public should know that BINGOs (Big Industrial NGOs) like @ciwf are more interested in building close business relationships with salmon farming multinationals – & leaping into bed with the enemy - rather than removing this ethically bankrupt industry cage by cage” #Mowi pic.twitter.com/OFa0DFv5Pg

"CIWF have now been completely cornered into doing a job for @MowiScotlandLtd while at the same time providing a veneer of ostensible independent credibility. Just another captured greenwashing NGO à la @rspcaassured. I hope the cash was worth it" (Corin Smith of ISSF) @ciwf pic.twitter.com/pueXkOPmtr

“Shame on @ciwf for cravenly kowtowing to the $almafia’s lawyers & burying damning video evidence which exposes the welfare nightmare of @rspcaassured Scottish salmon. The only way to end cruelty & torture inside salmon farms is to close down every cage in Scotland” @philip_ciwf pic.twitter.com/NoPbRRwsAa

Please end torture & cruelty on salmon farms in Scotland! @ScotlandSalmon @MowiScotlandLtd

Stop certifying Scottish salmon as "responsibly sourced" @rspcaassured & "farmed responsibly" @ASC_aqua https://t.co/GdiaY00bHJ #RSPCA #ASC #Scottish #Scamon@philip_ciwf @Animallawyersuk pic.twitter.com/S6O6cYkQQc
