I have followed Don Staniford’s journey for several years, witnessing the incredible dedication and courage he displays in educating the public about the perils of salmon farming. Despite facing legal challenges from both Scottish and Norwegian salmon farms, Don continues his advocacy, exposing critical issues regarding pollution, animal welfare, and mis-selling associated with farmed salmon. These companies, with their vast resources, have attempted to silence him using the British courts, but it is crucial that his voice is not drowned out by corporate interests.

Salmon farming in Scotland, while economically significant, has been plagued with controversies. Concerns about pollution levels, the welfare of farmed fish, and the impact on local ecosystems are significant issues that demand attention. Don Staniford, through his relentless research and advocacy, aims to bring transparency and accountability to an industry that affects our environment and health. By supporting his right to roam, we allow him to continue gathering evidence, sharing knowledge, and holding powerful entities accountable.

In Scotland, the right to roam is protected under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. This right enables individuals to access most land and inland water, provided they do so responsibly. Don’s work falls squarely within the remit of responsible access, intending to benefit society by unveiling the hidden costs of salmon farming.

Encouraging open discussion and education on such critical issues is vital. We must stand up against any attempts to intimidate or silence those who fight for transparency and the public’s right to know. Supporting Don's right to roam is not just about supporting an individual's quest; it's about advocating for environmental stewardship and ethical consumerism.

Join us in urging the Scottish government to uphold Don Staniford's right to roam without interference. Let us ensure that voices like his can continue to champion the truth responsibly and without fear. Please, sign this petition to stand with Don Staniford and support his essential work in making the world more informed and accountable.
