Absolutely! This is the one part where I diverge from most vegans. I am not conceptually against meat, but I am completely against it in the context of the modern hyper exploitative system. And I suspect the indigenous folks that harvest salmon would be to.

The reason they have had to much issues with that over the years is because some bastard came in and decided to try and scrape the rivers clear of salmon because they could get $2 a head or whatever.

Alas, in the modern system, as soon as you put a dollar price on something, it no longer remains that thing. If you are paid $10 per tree cut-down, you see a forest and nothing but money. When a salmon can get you a dollar, you just seen dollar bills floating in the river. Money is a useful tool to allow trade to happen smoothly but at this extreme end is is the lubricant of 'The machine' and it will consume everything it can.
