Guaranteed it is the local envirowhacks who did it. The Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project runs entirely upon donations and volunteer labor. It is located on Big Creek Lumber Company land free of charge. They use the most sophisticated hatchery practices found anywhere. Without it, there would be no coho here because coho wouldn't make it in natural streams for very long and never did.

Now that we have a federal court ruling that hatchery salmon and steelhead count in whether species are endangered, there is no more excuse to maintain what was a fraudulent listing in the first place (except the $750 MILLION dollars the California Department of Fish and Game intends to spend "improving" salmon and steelhead habitat).

Getting rid of the hatchery guarantees that the RICOnuts stay in power forever, which pleases their sponsors in the real estate racketeering business to no end. They don't want any hatcheries.

Pretty interesting observations. Thanks for your input.

That angle seems a lot more plausible to me than the previous one.

Speaking of enviro wackos, I made the mistake of watching some dopey kid's movie with my son. It was called "Little Bigfoot." Of course the bad guys were evil loggers, but I kind of expected that. They were bad loggers, poaching trees and wildlife and breaking all sorts of laws, environmental or otherwise.

But what shocked me was that the hero chick was tree-spiking envirobitch who also poured sugar into tractor gas tanks! I explained to my son, "That girl is a very evil person, even though this movie is pretending otherwise. People die when idiots like her put spikes in trees. Oh, and this is the last time we're watching this movie."

And "Little Bigfoot" and his mom looked like the guys in gorilla suits from old Abbott and Costello movies.

"Guaranteed it is the local envirowhacks who did it."

No way. As much as you might not like environmentalists, they care very deeply about endangered species. They do, as well, volunteer their time to preserve species. I have a close friend who seeks out and photographs threatened and endangered wildflowers all over California, every year, and donates his pictures to preservation projects and museums. You will not convince me he is a flower killer. His work had gone toward preserving several varieties that would otherwise be lost to us.

Hopefully the Davenport hatchery has upgraded security a little. Seems like some new locks, automatically closing doors, and bars on windows could save time and money.

Crime investigations in low security public areas probably aren't too successful.

Speaking as someone at a public university who had to call the police in to investigate several burglaries/thefts, nothing changes until you change locks, leaves doors always locked, and put in self-closing doors.
