Did you know you can eat fish? Or you could, if Central Valley growers hadn't killed them all.

Did you know that, before they were all dead, migratory fish were an important method of nutrient transport from oceans to inland ecosystems?

Did you know that fishing is an industry that employs plenty of people, when the fish haven't been driven to the brink of extinction?

All true facts.

The typical M.O. of American business and industry is to drive a species right to the edge of extinction and then let some minor weather event finish the job. That's what's happening here.

Brilliantly put.

I still eat fish, therefore the fact is not true. Your post is nothing more than claptrap not backed up by evidence.


Really? Industry had a habit of causing extinctions? Extinctions have been going on since the beginning of life.
