That was a good video. Swear I saw bawb in the line up.

[Fisherbob]

Presume what you wish, but the question should be, Should Fisherbob be muzzled? If I am voted out, I will stop posting. 

[Damien]

Well, there you have it.  It's official.  IMHO

Good to have your chips on the table, eh mate?

I like Mazda's and tell everyone to buy one if the topic comes up, but I don't work for them or get paid to lobby for them.

  Yes or No?

[Damien]

Well, its demonstrated that you 'lobby' FOR farming.  Whether you are stakeholder such as;

an employee
a shareholder
an investor
the boyfriend/girlfriend of an interested party
a sushi chef
a distributor
Norwegion
a net pen Mr.Fixit
a fish food supplier
just a troll
someone who likes to swim in the pens with the fish when no one is watching

Or associated in some other capacity, it doesn't really matter.

Presumptions aside, should I be muzzled. Yes or No?

[Damien]

Lol, a bit self important?  I couldn't care less.

However, feel free to admit that you like to roll in fish food, jump into a pen and have farmed salmon nibble on you while you giggle like a Japanses schoold girl eating jello for the first time, and we'll call it square.

One to the Doesn't  care vote.

[Damien]

One doesn't care

Fixed it for ya. 

[Fisherbob]

One doesn't care

Fixed it for ya.

Please excuse me from my presumption. A simple yes or no answer from you would have been enough.

Like I said, why not listen to the other side's argument and then make up your own mind. Nothing is ever all black or all white. I've seen the damage done by poorly placed fish farms in sensitive areas, but that is the fault of the government for allowing it... not someone taking advantage of an opportunity to exploit the system.

Glad to see you have an open mind Ian. What damage have you seen done to sensitive areas that is directly related to salmon farms?

Near a fish farm outside the mouth of the Mahatta River, a well known summer steelhead river, it is now a dead zone when previously it was teaming with life. And, after fishing the river several times I did not see anywhere close to the numbers of steelhead I have seen in the past.

Talking with a fisheries officer who did studies before and after a fish farm went into operation near Nootka Island, he told me there were drastic changes. Before the fish farm, a simple beach seine would show all 6 species of salmonids, as well as bottom fish of many species. There were even little seahorses and countless sea perch and sculpins. The area was very rich in sea life of all sorts. A year after the fish farm went into operation the area was almost a complete dead zone and only a few fish species were captured in several beach seines in the exact same location.

My only conclusion, from a layman's long term study, is if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, then chances are that it is a duck.

Thanks for pissing in Dave's cornflakes baby.

[troutbreath]

I should add that Bawb or Dave et al would be harshly scolded for their lasse fair pro dirty fish attitude on most all other sport fishing web sites. It's only because Rod allows some discussion from pro or con that they have a forum here. thanks Rod and I mean that. You can check that out if you want.
