Paddlefish Egg Deal Kind Of Wrangles My Feathers

I guess I just don't get it.

Everyone complains when MDC doesn't enforce the laws. It's said they need to step up enforcement.

But when they do step up and enforce those laws then we get our panties in a wad and scream that it's a bunch of rich MDC agents bolstering their egos.

Some people are never happy.

we decide to use the government to destroy a resource.

They already did, when they built the dams. The spoonbill are no different than the trout, they're raised and stocked. We've had enough experience in marketing wild animals by now that I don't know how you can get pass the history? Passenger pigeons, ducks, deer and turkey here, and the buffalo.

Human nature won't allow a person to sell the eggs from one fish, at least not until they know that one fish is documented. Value must be there or they wouldn't be farming them, and Russia wouldn't need them if they hadn't over fished their own stock. If people from CO can afford to come here and setup a buying center, take them back to CO, make caviar and then fly them to Russia, I'm thinking that a suitcase of eggs must be worth every bit of the money claimed.

If you want something to flourish, give humans an incentive to keep it going. We call that incentive...profit. Things become extinct when no one has a motive to promote it's continued existence but only it's destruction. Teaching a kid to throw parts of an animal in the trash, particularly when they are parts that are valued by someone else, does not teach the value of life, a catch, or the sanctity of harvest.

Some people like fish heads but I don't see anybody complaining about those.
