*Sigh* once again the DEC proves to me that they are a branch of the government bent on wasting money. Whats their biggest accomplishment? giving out tiny plastic badges to grade school children who they dub the "Water Police". o0 don't flush that toilet if its only yellow! Its a waste of money!

As much as I hate them, contact the ACLU, they love publicity. Send them all the media coverage and they may jump on it.
Oh and mount an M1919 belt feld on a tripod and have it pointed out the window, should make them think twice.

BTW-- I wrote to Governor Patterson:
Dear Governor,
I'm writing to you in regards to an issue you may have heard about recently. Here in Central New York Rocky the Snakehead fish has become something of an icon in recent weeks. The Department of Environmental Conservation wants to seize Rocky and destroy him because they consider him a threat to the environment. Rocky is ten years old and close to the end of his life. For these ten years his owner Chris Deverso has had Rocky as a pet. Why would Chris release Rocky after all these years? I'm not technically asking for a permit or a grandfather clause for him. What I'm asking for is the chance for Rocky to live out what little life he has left with his family. What would the problem be for Chris to just make a phone call and turn over Rocky's body once he naturally goes? Or paying a fee monthly, bi-monthly or yearly? The DEC could put this fee towards the rehabilitation of Onondaga Lake or one of the other countless efforts to restore CNY to its natural beauty.
Sincerely,
(Breella)

and all of us who are so into the situation. I just got my Dell Laptop fixed, and tomorrow it's going out for the first time with my Save Rocky sticker on it.
<3 all we can do is hope the DEC gets some common sense.

Does anyone know why they can't grandfather it in?
