This is an open pen operation, yes? If you watch their “documentary”, they also want to put their pens out in the open ocean. Less pollution of the fjords, maybe. Out of sight, out of mind, definitely.

Making Friendship Bread seemed like a better solution than collective suicide, if one has to choose an option that is not eating affordable but evil farmed fish vs paying big bucks for wild fish whose population might be at risk and who might not taste so good after traveling 2000 miles to reach its consumer with impeccable taste and ethical chops. Of course same ethical impeccable buyer would be donating points to help that wild salmon’s environmental footprint or some other ethical solution.

Can salmon have environmental footprints if they don’t have feet? I think they can, if they can take the train or plane.

I draw my circle to include the planet and all of the life that evolved on it as one complex organism. From this perspective, humans are part of the planet, as is all of the other life that’s evolved on it, whether extant or extinct.

Humans are part of this planet’s life cycle.

Whether good or bad for the terrestrial component of the planet, humans are part of the equation.

Since humans are currently the most intelligent form of life on the planet, they harbor a distinct and weighty responsibility to care for the other life forms and the planet’s overall health, as it’s current chief custodians.
