Farmed
fish
in
the
B.C.
coastal
region
has
been
a
matter
of
controversy
for
long,
and
now
it
gets
a
celebrity
voice
to
stand
up
against
this
long
contentious
practice.
The
49-year-old
erstwhile
'#Bay
Watch#'
actor
turned
social
activist
joins
hands
with
renowned
environmental
activist
David
Suzuki
for
convincing
people
to
chose
wild
and
natural
grown
Salmon
over
farmed
products
with
their
joint
social
campaign
named
'Operation
Virus
Hunter'.
"Salmon
farms
keep
pens
in
the
ocean,
where
the
fish
swim
in
their
own
feces,
and
breed
disease
and
sea
lice
that
kill
wild
salmon,
threatening
the
orcas'
ability
to
feed
I
learned
about
the
fish
farms
and
how
devastating
they
are," Anderson
said
in
an
interview.
In
a
press
conference
held
by
'Sea
Shepherd
Conservation
Society'
in
Vancouver,
Anderson
recommends
people
to
stop
consuming
farmed
salmon
and
make
a
better
choice
instead
by
going
for
naturally
grown
salmon.
"I
love
as
a
fellow
Canadian
I'm
able
to
shed
light
on
a
local
atrocity
that
has
solutions."
"The
bottom
line
is
that
fish
farms
in
the
oceans
are
polluting
the
oceans.
Please
take
this
into
your
own
hands
and
simply
say
no
to
farmed
salmon." She
concluded.
