Public Outrage halts states execution of Snake head ...

[channarox]

This pisses me off. This guy can't keep his 10 year old fish but everyday idiots can go buy dogs, let them reproduce, then dump them somewhere. Wasting gov't money on animals control, etc. Not to mention how this fish can't survive where they are located. This situation is out of hand...and frankly embarrassing.

exactly what i was thinking...
this is so stupid.
i mean,the US probably allows alot of other animals that could cause much more harm to the ecosystem than a single giant snakehead,which cant evev survive in the waters there....
honestly,im saddened by reading this article.....
i mean,cmon.
he got it 10 years ago...before the ban was in place.
now just because of this ban they want to take a fish the kids had for 10 years and kill it...
its so unfortunate people dont see pets as as equally important as any other living,breathing,being.
FIGHT ON BROTHER!

Or make him get a permit for it.Its always about money anyway.I can guarantee they fined him a few grand for the fish also.

Wrong, he was fined $25 guarnetee

So sad. I do have to say, though, they gave him the chance to give it away, and he didn't. Shopping your local zoo is not enough for a fish of this caliber. In the end, the fish is the one that suffers.

Poor guy and poor fish...he should have been grandfathered out of the ban as he did buy it legally before the ban went into place. It is so unfortunate that many have to pay for the mistakes of few.
