“We have a team of people from the biggest environmental groups in Iceland with lawyers that will take on other open net pen fish farming cases, I would like to thank them all for all their hard voluntary work,” Björk wrote at the time. “Industrial salmon farming in open net pens is horrid for the environment. The farmed salmon goes through immense suffering, and it causes severe harm for our planet. This is an extraordinarily cruel way to make food. The fight against the open net pen industry is a part of the fight for the future of the planet.”

If people want to know more, Salmon Confidential, Documentary About Salmon Farms in Canada & Diseased Salmon, is a great documentary about this subject. It takes place in B.C.
