The sanginous drums represent salmon eggs and the fish represents the death of our wild salmon. Deadly diseases and residual waste contaminants from BC Salmon farms cause environmental damage, human health consequences and are infecting our wild salmon stocks.
Antibiotics, pesticides, even toxic copper sulphate is sometimes used to keep the nets free of algae; all contribute to salmon suffering from lesions, disfigured spines, swollen gills, sea lice, piscine reovirus (PRV - highly contagious virus that most farmed salmon carry), heart skeletal and muscle infection (HSMI) and much more.
