Hey Duroboat.
I think you're on target for going after WA Trout!

What these people understand is money.

They seem to be about lawsuits and headlines and use both to get themselves attention and funding.

I think the quickest way to shut them down is to make their sponsors aware of public dissaproval. Donations to non-profits are all fine for a corporation until they start hurting the bottom line and granting agencies don't like people calling in to complain about what they have funded.

I doubt any of their lawyers would work for free.

Has anybody figured out what their agenda really is?

It seems like they go after the state and feds because they are easy targets.

Why don't they go after the dam operaterors (oops that might offend one of their sponsors like the BPA) or muciple water sources for taking all the water (oops, that might angered the seattle public utilites antoher contributor) or the devlopers and timber companies and farmers for degrading the habitat (that would be really popular now wouldn't it).

I don't think they'r about helping fish, they seem to be about employing lawyers by suing any easy target that won't put up too much resistance. They then claim victory, and ask for more funding showing off their victories in cout as the reason they should be funded. And somehow this is supposed to help the fish.

I don't get it. I think their donors have been had.

Sorry for the rant,

Geoduck
