Re: Yet another 90,000 trout to be euthanized....
Lots of ?'s , probably never get to the bottom of the issue , my opinion somebody / bodies dropped the dam ball !!
Much agreed with this statement...I have been following this pretty closely since it came out on the web in late summer -early fall....It seems as if this (furnurculosis) is a SUPER common occurrance in hatcheries throughout the WORLD....So it sounds as if this was something that was going to occur in our main hatchery sooner or later and it does'nt seem as if they prepaired for it or did ALL they could to avoid it.....That being said i'm sure the lack of pre-disease action was do to low/or lack of funds....But if there are going to be future trout stocking problems(ie; the amount of fish stocked per yr.) the lack of funds issue will prob only get worse.....
Pissed off ppl = less license and or trout stamp sales = less funds for the hatchery to make nessessary changes.....
I am probably in the minority, but i would be willing to pay more for a trout stamp and or donate money to fix the problems....Long road ahead
