Well why cant you vote?
What school do you go to?
I was going to go to Auburn University for their fisheries managment program but I couldnt swing the out of state tuition.
My best bud ended up going there and now he is working on his masters at Ark Pine Bluff and working for the state. Im kind of glad I didnt now as he darn near has his masters degree and Im making a good $10K more a year with just an associates. haha. Of course he actually likes his job...

Because I have MIXED feeling about snakeheads so thats why i cant make up my mind. Its not my job to change laws for just few people want pet snakehead. And for these fish farmers, they can just switch different species of farmed fish such as channel catfish, tilapia, walleye etc instead of Northern snakehead. So we dont see any positive gain to make snakehead legal.
Im in Central Lake College in Minnesota for my second year then probably move to Crookston for U of M for more classes. I always wanted work in the Fisheries.
Look at you tube on snakheads they are here and they have not yet caused any damage and how about just enporting tropial species from Asia and Africa and dwarf speices .people now fish for them in Virgina and they love it and I know pepole who have cought them and are now pets to them. look how long we have kept these fish before this problem accured. for over 30 years

Is that legal? Also the research and the tech have catch up in 30 years later...so it doesnt help us very much.
I would have to say keep them illegal just because of all the irrisponsible fish keepers out there. Some bad things could happen becuase of those people.
