My beef with Ramon VB and WT is that they simply cannot just come out and state their obvious goals. If they say they do not favor closing most or all hatcheries they are simply being disingenuos. The constant volumes of fluff spewed out trying to dispel that goal are only designed to sway audiences like this, certainly not an audience of their environmental extemist supporters. Like a politician WT says what the audience wants to hear. What they are selling I am not buying...period.

Hatchery reform is essential. Restoring healthy salmon runs is essential. Doing both from only one extreme view point is not essential and not smart.
