The idiots that imported these thing, in the first place, should be forced to pay for eliminating them, if even possible. http://www.healthylakes.org/policy/a...rp-barrier-act Unfortunately, it's not possible, unless you kill everything else as well. The key here is to try to find a use for them. We seem to be able to fish/hunt everything else to near extinction. Are they edible? Probably, but no one wants to eat carp... at least not in the US. So you gotta rename them. I don't think that the name "patagonian toothfish" was too palatable until it was renamed to "chilean sea bass. " Rename them, anything but "carp." Maybe they simply aren't palatable... even for fish sticks. I know nothing about them. Maybe fertilizer? Hell, the pilgrims used to use lobster for fertilizer, since they were so plentiful. Carp... the next lobster? Who knows. --Mike What you're suggesting isn't to far off from what is in this article; http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=5542199 -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |

That's my understanding. But the carp will jump ahead of an approaching boat, too. I'm no expert, though. I was speaking with a retired CAT employee last year who belongs to a Carp Anglers Group in the Tazewell county area. He told of an an incident in which an Asian Carp hit a boater in the face, knocking her out of her boat. The water wasn't deep where she fell in; but, where she fell was very muddy. Her face was very bloodied, and being stuck in the mud and water up to her shoulders, she had to wait for someone to come along to extract her. This apparently happened on the Illinois River. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
