Fish Farm Collapse

[Catherine]

The fact that they raise Atlantic Salmon in the Pacific Ocean brings into question their whole dedication to the environment.
Introducing species even under controlled conditions is risky. There could be viruses, bacteria and parasites that transfer from one species to another. A virus that might be harmless in an Atlantic Salmon could prove to be fatal in the west coast species. We just don't know. Taking a chance like this is not responsible. 

Also fish escapes are the most predictable problem of fish farming. If a few Atlantic Salmon escape in their own environment, good for them. We don't know what will happen because of this massive fish release. We have seen many times over what happens when species are released in an area where they don't belong. Whole ecosystems are damaged and destroyed by invasive species.
We may be watching the beginning of another such disaster.

We just keep creating one crisis after another on this planet. Why don't we learn?
Of course there was money to be made.
You can't eat money, you can't drink money and you can't breath money. 
Money should be a tool, not a goal.
