This is the best line in the article.

And here's the real reason for the poisoning.

"After the poisoning is complete - and all the dead fish are scooped
out of the water - the lake will be tested for toxicity, and will
remain closed for two months, Mr. Martarano said. After that,
restocking will begin, with a goal of one million trout in Lake Davis
by 2010."

I've fired off a letter to Trout Unlimited to see if they are involved
with this in any way. I give them a fair amount of money every year
and this better not have been on the national agenda.

I can understand their concern about an invasive fish, upsetting the
ecosystem, but they really do seem like Wile E.Coyote.

I did check up on Rotenone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotenone. I
don't believe I would get back in the lake for a LONG time.


Yeah, but so many morons have been hypnotized (or bribed) by the chemical
industry. I'm sure the state will be lying to people about the safety of
rotenone as soon as the lake is opened.


Is a short lived poison only toxic to gilled animals. Plus they Rotenoned
the lake a couple of years ago. Seems as if we did not create any Blobs.


Yet.

Since chemicals like that have not and cannot be PROPERLY tested on humans,
we will NEVER know if they are safe. According to the chemical industry,
animal tests are not a valid method for predicting the effects on humans, so
that argument is no longer permissible.
