Salmon farming company launches legal action against fish farm critic

摘要

One of the world's most outspoken anti-salmon-farming activists is being sued by a major international aquaculture company for allegedly "stepping over the line" and defaming it in his latest campaign against the industry. And it was notable, says oneobserver, that the offended company was able to get Don Stamford's statements on the Global Alliance Against Industrial Aquaculture (GAAIA) website - the basis of the lawsuit, according to the legal statement of claim - pulled from the Internet almost instantly, reportedly by the campaigner's Internet Service Provider (ISP). Mainstream Canada confirmed later that the statements were pulled after the company had the ISP served with a cease-and-desist warning from the company lawyer.
