Hér er frétt um skelfilegar aðfarir Bakkafrosts við sjókvíaeldi á laxi í Færeyjum.
Athæfið náðist á vídeó og hafði þær afleiðingar að breska matvöruverslanarisinn Tesco tók vörur Bakkafrosts úr hillunum.
Sóðaskapurinn í sjókvíaeldinu er kominn á rækilega á dagskrá hjá helstu verslunarkeðjum Evrópu. Þær vita að neytendur hafa enga þolinmæði fyrir náttúru- og dýraníði.
BBC fjallar um ákvörðun Tesco:
Tesco says it suspended its use of a fish farm in Skye after an animal welfare charity alleged diseased fish were dumped in a sea loch and live salmon were left to suffocate before being processed. …
The Green Britain Foundation claimed the incidents had followed a disease outbreak that killed thousands of fish.
Last November, Tesco suspended its use of a Highland fish farm also owned by Bakkafrost Scotland following allegations that salmon infested with sea lice were left in a pen which should have been empty.
The Green Britain Foundation, which has welcomed Tesco’s suspension, filmed activity at the Skye fish farm.
Director Dale Vince alleged the footage showed there had been an „abuse“ of salmon – and of regulations designed to protect consumers and the environment.

A Tesco spokesperson said: „We take animal welfare extremely seriously, and we expect all our suppliers to adhere to our high welfare standards.
„As soon as we were made aware of this concerning footage, we immediately suspended the farm to carry out an investigation with our supplier.
„Any failure to meet our high welfare standards is unacceptable and we take swift action where necessary.“
