SYRACUSE -- You're probably familiar with the story of "Rocky" the Snakehead fish. He's the more than two foot long fish state environmental official want to confiscate from its owner and destroy because it is illegal to possess in New York. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation says the fish is a predatory invasive species.
But Rocky has become a celebrity, and supporters have started an online petition in support of the fish. Today, Action News photographer Jason Hy spotted this show of support projected on a building alongside Interstate 81 in Syracuse. The sign of support is visible on the left from the southbound lanes, just after you pass the Adirondack Furniture store.
wow that is awesome....
 
So whats the scoop on Rocky? Alive? Dead? Foster care? Pardoned?
 
so far he is doing fine... but the DEC could come anytime... { please keep signing the petition...}
 
That sign is amazing =3 Rocky is a national hero. This is what our country is supposed to be. All of us getting together and uniting for a common cause: Freedom. If they kill Rocky, what does that show us? That no matter how many of us want something, the government has the right to take it away because they deem it's bad for us. Even when it hurts no one.
 
Bump! Get friends, friends' friends, their mothers, grand fathers, their bridge clubs! sign this as in now!

No matter how trivial a fish may seem to people that aren't into fish keeping this is about perspective! If "we" can get this fish pardoned that also means we are able to change a system that wrongs us! just imagine what would happen if rocky was a dog, there would be a f'n lynch mob marching to keep their pets! and yes, this is the same thing, Chris did nothing wrong when he bought rocky, he had raised him from a little wriggly tadpole to a pet. of course he won't turn the fish in when they were outlawed! What you do when you sign this petition is making a statement! you won't take shi! for no good reason. Most people on here knows more about channa than the DEC, we know Rocky wont stand a chance of surviving if released but still they need to make a statement by banning Snakeheads! That is ignorant, they clearly didn't do their homework on Snakeheads before putting the law in action, and now Chris and Rocky pays the price of that! That price is death!

Step the F up and defend your rights!





Sorry for the rant but this is so typical for governments all over the world, and what ticks me of the most is that they can do this just because Rocky is a minority, not many people knows much about rocky and the media doesn't help by showing "the guinea pig" were he tries to get bit by "the monster jaws.. can breath on land for three days.. eats cats and dogs yada yada" THE FISH DID NOT EVEN BITE HIM!!!!!!! they could possibly be on land for 3 days if it was heavy rain and no other predators around. The northern pike is worse than that.
 
so im more curious on how he got caught with it??? are they not one of those dont ask dont tell fish?

seriously just move the fish one night to a friends house for awhile.... leave it hidden there and in a few years bring rocky home... when they ask say its walking its way back to asia it said it didnt want to die..

I have put this thread up on a Scandinavian Community as well, I reckon we should get 200 signs from there!
 
you guys are great....it is not that we support anything illegal here... we do not.. we support a fish that was with chris before the ban.... he should be grand fathered in is all we ask... whether we agree with the law or not .. it is law and we abide... chris has plead quilty... he only wants Rocky to live... if not with him then in another safe haven... but the stress of Rocky moving after 10 years could be his demise.. so i hope they give Chris a permit ..let Rocky stay with him and grandfather him in... thats what i support...
