Dear California: Please stop buying farmed salmon from British Columbia.
Californians are the reason industrial salmon farming is polluting the ocean of British Columbia, Canada. You are the biggest purchaser of BC Farmed Salmon. Salmon farms are feedlots, placed in the migration routes of wild salmon, putting wild salmon at risk of sea lice infestation, massive virus exposure, diseases from Europe, pollution and drug resistant bacteria . Farmed salmon is high fat that scientists say contains high levels of toxins

Farmed salmon eat wild fish, depleting ocean stocks of small schooling fish, they don’t feed the world.
Wild salmon feed the trees that make the oxygen we breath, we need them, the whales need them. If Californians say NO to farmed salmon these corporations will change their dirty practices and get their feedlots off wild salmon migration routes.
Our oceans need your help, please sign this petition (and share!), promise not to eat farmed salmon, if your sushi has white stripes of fat - you are eating farmed salmon. Remember to ask when buying salmon - is it farmed or wild?
