I read the original story on this, this morning and not about Dick Durban. I’m not from there but once in awhile, the wildlife officials here, do check boats. They said it will mess up commercial fishing.
Senator Dick Durbin is racist who hates Asians,and fish.
Durbin has nothing to do with it...
Problem really is a regional issue for any states bordering on The Great Lakes. If the carp get in one Great Lake, the very valid concern is that they will get in all of the lakes. They are like an aquatic locust/ant/cockroach...Spread like wildfire as they grow fast and takeover the ecosystem. Earlier this year, I saw an article stating that state of Michigan is offering a million dollars for solutions to keep them out...
The fish seem to be excited by noise and do jump/leap when boats go by...my spouse got smacked in shoulder by one—said it hurt—the fish can weight 50 lbs.
you are so correct... this is a no bull$hit situation... these things eat everything... they can destroy an entire ecosystem... why not put the college kids and professors to work on this problem instead of looting and rioting?
