Alaska to PEI: Alaskan State Rep. Geran Tarr Visits PEI to Protest the GM Salmon
On April 17 and 18, 2013 CBAN and the PEI group Islanders Say No to Frankenfish hosted a PEI visit from Alaskan State Representative Geran Tarr. The Government of Alaska unanimously passed a resolution against the GM salmon. Rep. Tarr met with the Premier of PEI, Opposition members, and spoke at a public event. The company AquaBounty refused a request from Rep Tarr to tour their research facility in PEI but we coordinated a visit to the site - which is the proposed global GM salmon egg production factory. You can watch Alaskan State Representative Geran Tarr and PEI activists explain their concerns with the genetically engineered salmon and PEI's role as possible global supplier of GM salmon eggs, from the media scrum after meeting with the PEI Premier on April 17. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VkdXC-tICM
