...then of course "fish farms" DO destroy wild salmon runs with about 100%
effectiveness. one of the little diseased fuckers gets out, and it's all
over for any nearby natural salmon runs. So i would say that Keiko is
making a very nice pro-nature gesture. last time i checked, salmon arent
meant to swim in cages with tens of other salmon crammed in with em' -
perhaps Keiko knows this:)
drsebby.
alone i bear the cross of salmon politics

While Keiko the killer whale frolicked in a western Norwegian fjord Tuesday,
a local whale expert warned that Keiko may not survive the winter. If he
doesn't detach himself from humans soon, it may be best to destroy him, he
said.
While researchers discussed Keiko's fate, the affectionate whale snuggled up
to their boat.
Niels Oeien of the Institute for Marine Research in Bergen, who specializes
in sea mammals, says Keiko also may represent a threat to Norway's major
salmon breeding industry.
"Reports are coming in now that the killer whale (spekkhuggeren, in
Norwegian) is disturbing fish farms within the Skaalvik Fjord," Oeien told
Aftenposten Multimedia. "If there are more such episodes, he should be
destroyed."
