This makes me want to vomit. The fact that these vendors are willing to risk the bad publicity indicates to me that society still doesn't appreciate the ethics we--or at least most of us--hold dear. Question for anyone: it's illegal to sell wild trout, why not wild steelhead? I've thought about the problem we all have with commercial versus sportfishing interests with regard to steelhead and it seems to me that if we outlawed the sale of wild steelhead we could solve the problem. Of course this isn't likely, but the same concerns which led to the ban on wild trout could logically be applied toward steelhead, right??? Or wrong? Does anyone know anything more about this? And if anyone has any ideas how we can fight this gross sell-out, I'm in on it. For now, here's some contact info, I say we give these people an earful.
