"Putting the buffalo and duck market hunters out of work was a bit easier because the public could see the destruction, with the fish it is out of sight out of mind."


Yup everyone could see the destruction alright. It spread like wild fire across the internet and was on everyone's TV
That's half the problem with the world today. No one can do a damned thing without someone half way around the world voicing their opinion about it.
It use to be 2many chiefs and not enough indians......now days it's just 2many, voicing their opinion on 2much, and they know 2little, because they are 2far removed from 2many of the issues.
