More diseased fish were found on Monday.

I understand the states doing by not wanting to further spread the disease but i don't understand why they just don't dump the sick fish in an already polluted river.
114 + 90 thousand is a lot of fish.
Could have put em in the passaic, not told anyone and in a few years had a trophy trout river I'd the pike dont eat em.

+1 Why not just dump em in the Passaic?

Possibly fear of having more birds spread the disease to other areas? Only reason I can think of not to.
