Animal rights campaigners are urging Michael Gove to stop the construction of the UK’s first fully on-land salmon farm, claiming the decision to give it planning permission was flawed.
Animal Equality says an environmental impact assessment (EIA) should have been carried out before North East Lincolnshire council (NELC) gave the green light to the salmon farm in Cleethorpes, which it says would be the world’s biggest at land or sea.
As much as I hate to agree with the weird hippies, farmed salmon contains far more contaminants like heavy metals.
On a quick Google, that seems to depend on who wrote the article. There’s plenty of people claiming that and plenty of people denying. My guess is you get more pollutants from your nonstick frying pan than the fish.
I know plenty of hunter guys who would never buy meat from a store, but store meat is monitored to a much greater degree than wild meat. I don’t know where I stand, but we know what the farmed fish are eating. Whether that’s good or bad I don’t know. I am opposed to knee jerk NIMBYism
