I shudder at the implications of the ignorant intersecting the internet.
I guess I have to agree that I am not too bright and may indeed be downright ignorant.

I have, however, supported fundraising for many conservation organizations, including spending over 20 years on the DU committee here in Vancouver. But the conservation organizations that I support don't use the banquet donation proceeds to sue the state agencies responsible for trying to improve our wildlife.

There may be many areas where improvements can be made in hatchery operations, and those improvements should be made as quickly and responsibly as possible. But suing to close the hatcheries of an entire region is either a temper tantrum or a new and creative way to raise money. In either case, it needs to stop.

A proper and respectful demonstration by concerned sportsmen at WT fundraisers would be very effective in forcing the attendees to really see where their money is going.
