About time she lost that accreditation as it was most likely embarrassing to responsible biologists, Canada wide.
It really is mind boggling how some people seem to need this scapegoat known as the danger's of salmon farms for declining salmon returns, but continue and indeed demand harvest rates and shares of economical and social aspirations to kill wild salmon IE, commercial, sports, aboriginal fisheries, sports shops, guides, tackle companies, fish and game clubs/ societies and many others who firmly believe they are not at fault.
Fisherbob has offered a lot of links for people to see what Ms. Morton is all about .... IMO she has harmed future wild BC salmon with her demand to halt salmon farming and to only eat wild, because there are virtually no wild salmon populations in BC able to withstand increased harvest pressures, by any user group. Having said that I expect a larger market for FN caught salmon now, with all that brings, thanks to Morton.
There are however, lots of ranched Alaskan salmon out there in the Pacific competing with BC fish – could she perhaps be advocating for increasing that consumption? To me that's not in BC’s best economic interest but my opinion aside, if not from Alaska, where do these non farmed salmon come from?
It was not unexpected that we would finally hear a rant from one of the pro feedlot boys.... especially since a few of them have become strangely silent.
If the rant was prompted by the rumor that Alex's name was "removed from the College of Applied Biology of British Columbia", perhaps you could provide a link to support that. I suspect that the basis for that rumor was probably found on the same site that Fisherbob seems to get his "facts".
It's too bad that the folks that post on that site don't even have the courage to identify themselves....
