Sniveks-
Well for your information in case you have been living in a hole you entire life (which considering your attitude is highly possible), the timber company's do have a lot to do with it. I don't hear anybody saying that we have to do away with logging, it's just that some of there practices need to be changed. Instead of raping whole mountain sides, they could do cut smaller strips or patches. I know this would cost consumers more because the loggers would have to move around more, but I think that most people would be willing to pay this extra little bit. And where did you come up with 25% die after C & R. Maybe if drag them through the mud and hold them up by the gills for a picture. With proper handling techniques...ie keep them fish in the water, quick picture ect., the mortality rate is at most 5-7%. Check your numbers next time when you get diaria of the mouth and constipation of the brain!!!
