Why would they, as this is not a government operated hatchery?

You and Stam need to get together. You can sit and lump anyone who works for the state, city, county, or Feds as "government".

Damn all you "government" workers!!!!!!

Now, I will concur and say your probably right in your prediction that no state employee will get fired over this.

PS. The other one I love, when interacting with the un-educated public, is:

"Damn all those fish-bios. What the hell do they know? They are ruining our fisheries!"

Cracks me the hell up.
