Read here. Environmentalists in the state of Illinois are concerned about the Asian carp, a foreign fish species that may or may not be invading Lake Michigan. Despite flimsy empirical evidence (sound familiar?) that the fish was actually living in the waterways that feed Lake Michigan, the environmentalists convinced the state bureaucrats to conduct a five day fish kill in a waterway. End result? 100,000 pounds of fish killed and not a single ounce of Asian carp was found.
"About 2,000 gallons of the fish poison Rotenone were dumped along a two-mile stretch of the Calumet-Sag Channel where DNA samples previously indicated the presence of Asian carp...the channel was about seven miles west of Lake Michigan where state and federal officials for months have been trying to gauge the carp's threat to the Chicago waterway system and ultimately the lake."
Another example of environmental fanaticism running amok is the news that Danish authorities plan to clear cut trees in a national park in order to install wind turbines. Yikes.
Is it time to kill all the environmentalists instead of the fish and trees? The world and nature would be a lot better off, no?
