Unbelievable!
Wild and insane lawmakers in Alaska– a state that prohibited net-pen fish farming in 1989 in part due to the fact that of worries a few of the fish may leave the pens and hinder wild fish– now wish to permit Alaskans to begin their own salmon farms or what some in Alaska choose to call “cattle ranches.”
State Reps. Mike Cronk, Sarah Vance, and George Rauscher have actually proposed a law that would permit “a certified individual” to get a “fisheries rehab authorization” from the Alaska Department of Fish and Video game licensing him or her to “get rid of anadromous or freshwater finfish from the water of the state, gather gametes and fertilize and breed eggs drawn from the fish, and position the fertilized or nurtured eggs, larvae, or unfed fry in the very same water of the state.”
