Did someone say Panda steaks? Where?(jk) It's great to see a push by readers here to do something to stop the sale of wild steelhead! I'll do my part by writing. I hope some readers here can get the media involved.~ A story for the fish market: Recently, in Madison County Circuit Court (S.W. Montana), the Assistant District Attorney brought before the sitting Judge an older wilderness vagrant (sometimes refered to as hermits). The charge was for shooting and possessing a Trumpeter Swan; a bird on the Fed. Endangered Species list, as several birds in that area are. The Judge asked the old cogger for his plea and he said "Your cops found me with it so I must be guilty". Judge, "Why did you kill this beautiful bird?". Cog, "I was hungry and them taste dang good." Judge, "Well I'm quite sure you must know about hunting laws so I'm going to have to convict you. I am curious though- if Swans taste so good , what do they taste like?". Cog, "Well...let's see....oh, I'd say about half way between Whooping Crane and Bald Eagle". ..shtick (read that one by Reel Truth off his site)
