In an unprecedented move fishing lodges are challenging other lodges to support the legal costs of the 20-day defamation trial: Staniford vs Mainstream (owned by Cermaq, largely owned by the Norwegian government). Staniford compared the salmon farming industry to big tobacco.
Central to the case is whether the salmon farming industry read the scientific papers recommending limiting farm salmon consumption due to toxin levels and then spent millions trying to convince people to eat more farm salmon.
The trial is ongoing this week. Already $24,000 has come from over 300 donations from the public. $10,000 came from a group of fishermen in Norway. A Swedish fly-fishing magazine has put out a plea for funding of this case.
The trial is public and ongoing at: Law Courts, Nelson and Hornby entrance 10 am #52.

If we want wild salmon it is up to us.

I'm sure PC (QCL) could foot the bill all by his lonesome. If not his 'partners' are not shy in the monetary department. Hope it all works out...
