Or Max Mayfield. He was issued a citation recently for bringing a goliath
grouper aboard a boat for a picture. It was released unharmed, but they're
a protected species. Boating the fish was considered a "take". Of course,
in order to properly release the fish unharmed, the fish needs to be brought
aboard and vented. Every angler and fishing guide in my neck of the woods
always boats these fish in order to vent them. It's common practice...and
good conservation technique.
So why am I mentioning this here in a thread about Global Warming?
Because Max Mayfield stepped on some toes when he testified before Congress
that hurricanes were not a result of global warming. His picture appeared
with the goliath in a local paper out of St. Pete, and a former disgruntled
colleague of his at NOAA turned him in.
That's the kind of thing that the global warming zealots do to stifle
dissent.
Kind of mild compared to what a bunch of Conservatrashers did to Max
Cleland or John McCain, eh?
