How would any of you feel if your job, fishing with your family, was under attack so someone else could fish with their family for fun? You can't really be that heartless, can you?



I can and am that heartless. Try this I worked in the timber industry all my life as did my father and grandfather. When the owl came along many lost jobs, businesses went broke and wages tanked. Now there was retraining stuff but most just moved on and out of the area seeking work. So why should I feel that commercial fishers are any different than timber workers harvesting federal timber? They are not. The commercial gillnet fleet is living off public subsidies just as the timber industry was and it in the end will suffer the same fate. Times have changed and my family and friends have adapted as will the commercials, like it or not.
