Poor Magnificent Alligator Gars

[suckerfish]

these are not CARP. then again, you're talking about a part of the country where they kick the daughter in the chin, to circumsize the son.
you know you're a red neck when............

In time of extreme drought you have to kill off large numbers of grazing animals in a herd to allow the herd to survive. Understandable right?
I agree with the words All Life is Precious!!!!!!
So if life is life should we do the same to humans? Would you be alright with that?

I think all life is precious. I just don't buy into the whole life is life thing. I may just be biased because I'm human.

All Life is precious...... how right you are.. and to feel any different about the wonderful natural wildlife that goes on around us would be a sin.. all life is precious... beautiful saying.

I agree the death of some of these creatures is really depressing. But how is this worse than keeping an atf, pangasius sp., red tailed cat or similar in a tank? Al of these can reach a metre and more, and imo should not be kept by any hobbyist except the tiny minority who can house them for life. Sorry if I'm down on the whole 'monster fish' ethos, but surely we have to ask where most of the baby alligator gars and other species that grow huge end up....

they're being farm bred by the thousands in asia and as for all the bleeding hearts...I know now who not to invite when I go fishing...

That's great....if you live in Asia.
