Hard to believe I'm the first to comment on this disaster. Does no one care about the plight of our wild Pacific salmon? No matter how Cooke Aquaculture tries to down play and fabricate stories about this horrific 'spill', we here on the west coast know that our Canadian government has been warned multiple times over the past couple of decades how dangerous these open-net Atlantic salmon farms are to our wild salmon. They carry diseases, pathogens, and parasites which are distributed to the wild salmon population. This is why our salmon runs have been diminishing over the years, not because of over-fishing as we have erroneously been told.

Let this be a wake-up call to both the Federal and Provincial governments in Canada.
