Stop Frankenfish!

To Margaret A. Hamburg Commissioner US Food and Drug Administration:

As global consumers, we ask you not to approve Aquabounty’s transgenic salmon for human consumption. Genetically modified fish pose a real threat to natural marine species and the long-term effects of consuming transgenic meat have not been sufficiently researched. Worse, FDA's approval of transgenic salmon could open the floodgates for genetically modified animals worldwide. Without stronger guarantees that this product salmon do not threaten wild species or human health - now or in the future - we ask that you reject its approval.

Stop Frankenfish!
The US is about to approve the first genetically modified fish, opening the global floodgates to mutant fish. But thankfully, the government is legally required to consider public opinion first -- it's now up to us to stop it.  

This mutant salmon is creepy -- it grows twice as fast as the real fish, and independent scientists are unable to predict its risks to our health. In fact, it has only been declared safe by the company that created the GMO creature! Groups are sounding the alarm in the US, but to stand up to the biotech lobby and prevent this dangerous thing entering our food chain, it is going to take all of us across the world.  

The public consultation is happening right now. Sign urgently to say NO to Frankenfish and send this to everyone -- let's get a million voices officially submitted and stop its release into the world's stores.
