#tassal — Public Fediverse posts

Hell hath no fury like a tasmanian mother receiving a tassal salmon tea towel, brought home by their child who was "gifted" this toxic BS to take home from school.
It's only on the meta of MP for franklin Peter George, so instead of linking, here's what I'd do with such a tea towel.
Vintage tea towel printed with the same vinyl that is used for fossil fuel promoting rugby sweaters.

Shocking to read that Tassal has had a major fish-kill at its barramundi farm in the remote Buccaneer Archipelago/Cone Bay region of WA while simultaneously pushing ahead with plans to ramp up production. 
What concerns me deeply is this expansion ambition — from roughly 2 000 tonnes a year to potentially 17 500 tonnes — in a glob­ally significant and delicate marine ecosystem. 
The story doesn’t revisit the wider track‐record of salmon-farm related mortality and ecosystem impacts, yet the parallels are painfully obvious. We should be asking: are we repeating history rather than learning from it?

We don’t need to protect private and profit making companies from citizen advocacy, democracy and good governance.

Anthony Albanese is an environmental vandal.

#Salmon from #SalmonFarming was one of my staples. I used to spring for the more expensive Superior Gold smoked salmon, and I'd eat a couple of slivers most days. Then #Tassal smeared their branding all over it, perhaps hoping it would elevate Tassal.

Nope, just destroyed what had looked like an independent higher quality product.

So now, like a lot of people, I dont eat #Tasmanian Salmon.

Trying to find a smoked salmon that is ethically produced, and heavily smoked so its not gelatinous.

When you have a brand that’s synonymous with bad environmental behaviour, and poor quality products, like #Tassal, daubing your branding over your premium product “Superior Gold Smoked Salmon”, which previously only mentioned you in small print on the back of the packet, is not the galaxy-brain brand-elevating genius move you think it is.

#Tassal Tasmanian Salmon says #sustainability is at their heart - yet they are happy to shoot protected seals to protect their farming profits! Does that sound like a company who cares about being #sustainable?
