American Frog Going Extinct in Yellowstone

[Recycling Works]

Heres a sucky deal, only a few of them left, and 85 percent have the fungus, they dropped trout in by mule and helecopter in remote areas for sport fisherman, whiped out these frogs, they wont breed in captivity

that pisses me off i love fish but they aways seem to disregard the possible habitate shift that occours when they overstock lakes or introduce a speices that wasnt there before..
we have a problem in my area they have now removing fish from a local water shead area that was introduced to control one thing and wiped out ones that were needed more..

I agree, they say fisherman play a big part is conservation. Bullcrap, people stock popular species wherever they want with complete disregard for the native wildlife. Look at all the places LMB have been inroduced!!!! Hell, they are worried about the bass population in the Potomac because of snakeheads...BASS AREN'T EVEN NATIVE TO THE POTOMAC!!!! They were stocked there but they don't care about the native fish, only the fish that bring in the fisherman. Now I am not against fishing, I am a fisherman but some of these things just piss me off.
