How Could We Have Missed This?


From the good people at The Trout Underground,


Sent to us by the folks hoping to turn the Pending Pebble Mine Disaster into a distant memory, the stunning, oh-so eco-friendly ad below has been prepared by the Pebble Partnership - the companies who want to turn Bristol Bay into toxic waste site (though a profitable one for them).


The Pebble Partnership’s hoping to reassure us sporting types that no way their giant open-pit mine - and all the toxic tailings associated with it - are going to harm wildlife in the area because, you know, they say so right in the ad.


Wow. If only they’d been this clear earlier, I’m sure the salmon themselves would have welcomed them with open arms.


This must be a joke...eveyone knows salmon don't have arms. We've included a picture of the ad. It never ceases to amaze the lengths that mining interests will go to in order to decieve, distort and dissemble the truth regarind the Pebble Mine scheme.
