It is hard to image that anyone has down more for the wildlife of the state of Washington than Carl Crouse in his long career!!

As far as the "wild chinook" on the menu. As I read the menu it is one of the options, diner's choice. In the restaurant trade "wild salmon" is used to contrast to farm raised. The "wild" fish may be of either hatchery or natural origin but has done most of its growing in the ocean.

If you have great concern about the potential taking of "wild chinook" for this dinner why limit your darts to just this issue. Over the last year I have seen many reports on this very site of wild salmon (chinook, coho, sockeye, pinks and dogs) being caught and killed. All summer long have been treated to a long series of "hero shots" of dead wild salmon from Alaska.

If you feel that no wild fish should be killed why not start your campaign in your own backyard. Beginning by chastising your friends and fellow posters on this site for this "unethical" behavior. Something to think about.
