I saw this post on another forum today.
From utahfishfinder...
"I saw an article in the paper the other day about how the USF&G is going to electro shock the Colorado river below Glen Canyon dam and grind up any non native fish that is found. This would include trout, catfish etc. They estimate that 70,000 trout need to be killed to reach their goal. There is alot of outcry from animal rights as well as some indians. If they are going to do this on the Colorado then the Green is next. They already kill any non-native fish found in their nets out in the Uintah basin."
[mad] Does anyone know anything more about this? If this is true, it needs to be stopped. Letters/emails need to written to the USF&G and congressmen to let them know this isn't appropriate behavior. It drives me nuts that unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, such as the USF&G, sets such policies. [mad]
What do you think?
