Every time someone justifies something evil and awful like the oil industry or the salmon farms with “but it provides jobs” I want to scream “FUCK JOBS”. Seriously. Fuck them. Fuck jobs. Fuck them and fuck using them as a bartering chip to destroy the environment and fuck acting like jobs are worth destroying the environment for anyway.
Wait wait wait what did salmon farms do
They use massive amounts of political pressure and muzzling of scientific information to hide the fact that they’re killing wild salmon populations on the West Coast of Canada through a combination of spreading drug resistant sea lice and disease and spewing massive amounts of infected wastewater into the open sea, which in particular is negatively impacting the cultural, spiritual, and economic lives of First Nations communities.
