In the line-up of fishermen on an Anchorage side street leading to a Walmart superstore, John Renner stood smiling, holding high a sign reading "What is Vladimir Putin' In Them Humpies?"
Beside him stood Jack Hopkins, holding high another sign that read "Alaska State Constitution Demands Sustainability."
"We are here today to tell Walmart that they are swimming against the tide when it comes to Alaska salmon," said Renner, vice president of Cordova District Fishermen United, who, along with Hopkins and several dozen others travels from Cordova to Anchorage to set the record straight on just how sustainable Alaska wild seafood is.
"If Walmart really believes in its Buy American and Sustainability practices, why is it letting a European organization prevent Americans from supporting American jobs and choosing the most sustainably caught seafood in the world?" said Hopkins.
