F*ck late-stage capitalism and countries unable/unwilling to represent PEOPLE AND PLANET in countering short-term capricious greed.

Dammit.

This time the risk is wild Atlantic #salmon due to 1000s of #farmedFish escaping pens in #Iceland.

A reminder that #Scandinavia can be home to short-term thinking shits, too. Today’s poster child: #1 Mowi (~30% global salmon & trout market.) of Bergen, Norway. Ex-Unilever.

#WildSalmon face unimaginable man-made threats to their existence everywhere across the world. Nobody seems to give a shit about them, anymore than the survival of humankind. The plight of the #Salmon is also that of humans.

Be a #SalmonLeader. Take #ClimateAction #RightNow goddammit!

The #Na̱mǥis #FirstNation located in #AlertBay on #BritishColumbia #WestCoast has relied on #salmon as a main #FoodSource for thousands of years.
Salmon are #sacred for #Indigenous people living there, but that #legacy is now #threatened by long-term consequences of #industrial #FishFarms over the last 3 decades.
