Intensive salmon farms are in the news for animal cruelty, diseases and
pollution -- and that's not even looking at the devastating impact of the
fishmeal industry that feeds the salmon farms.

Leading chefs are speaking out, but we need a restaurant chain next to
continue the domino effect against this terrible industry.

Join 75,000 people already telling Wagamama to stop serving farmed salmon
in its 190+ restaurants around the world:

Hi John!

Did you know that salmon farms are fed on fish plundered from Africa,
putting millions of people at risk of malnutrition?

That's why a growing number of restaurants and chefs have committed to
simply not serving open-net farmed salmon.

One big name that's missing, though, is Wagamama, a chain of 190+
restaurants around the world that's known for its noodle dishes and its
many vegetarian and vegan options. 

75,000 of us have already signed the Wagamama salmon petition -- when we
hit 100,000 we'll deliver it with our partners at Wagamama's global HQ in
London. Will you add your name and share the campaign today?

In a few decades, salmon has gone from a rare luxury to one of the most
available dishes in restaurant menus -- but its popularity comes at a
terrible cost.

The chemical pesticides, fish faeces, and diseases flowing from salmon
farms can have fatal consequences for other marine life.

And it's not just a problem for countries that host the farms. Farmed
salmon are fed fish plundered with devastating consequences from oceans
half a world away. In West Africa, in particular, the demand for these
wild-caught fish causes overfishing and robs local livelihoods.

Wagamama has the power to cut its ties to the salmon farming industry, but
it won't move without a push. That's why we've got to raise our voices
together:

already pledged to get farmed salmon off the menu.

Along with partner organisations, 189,000 Ekō members recently took on the
Australian salmon industry for shooting hungry seals. Ekō members have for
years also supported local protests and investigations into salmon farms
in Scotland, and recently, we helped stop a major copper and gold mine in
Alaska that would have endangered the 60 million wild sockeye salmon that
come to Bristol Bay each year.

Wagamama's slogan of "small choices for big change" is nice. Now it's time
the company walked the talk:
