-I don't get it, why is this not considered an environmental disaster or at the least the company should be fined for illegal stocking.
-I'm not 100% against this industry, I have no problem with spending research money on development of closed containment systems.
--We were told that Atlantic's were perfect as even in the rare (although not so rare it seems) escapes the Atlantic's could not breed and would not disrupt local naturals. It has now yet again been reported that juvenile Atlantic's have been found in three BC rivers.
--As to the spill of fish, when a tanker truck or train crashes and contaminants escape we don't just say oh the financial loss of the material is enough of a deterrent so why when fish escape is it that the loss of fish is touted as such a financial loss that no other actions are taken.
--as our insurance goes up with each crash so should fines for violations of this nature, each infraction should be recorded and the fine increased up to and including shutting down the facility. As one company owns 90% of these farms violations from each farm owned by the company should also be assesed to the parent company similar to a WCB claim.
