This pic was taken on November 20 on the Skokomish River in Washington. The tribes, wonderful stewards of the land, netted these salmon, stripped the eggs for the Japanese caviar market and dumped the rest including all the males. Nothing else was used or saved. All of this was done with the blessing of the State and Feds.

You should feel good about being locked out of the rivers so the salmon could be saved for this higher use.

Now someone please just try and lecture me about bashing the poor tribes. :cussing:

It was brought to my attention later today that the pic was actually taken November 20, 2013. The rest of the details remain true to my knowledge and the fact is not erased that this practice is common and annual. This particular dumping attracted a lot of attention and the tribe defended their actions and choices

This year in all rivers and tributarys that drain to Grays Harbor, all sportfishing was closed on October 30 and remain closed now due to low salmon returns...but the nets are still out.

There is no justification for wasting a life and a resource- PERIOD! What hypocritical BS! Unless they are already eating Salmon 3 times a day, 365 days a year their F'n wasting it for profit to line their pockets! I used to do alot of work for the Casinos. When you see no expense spared on the casinos while next door behind a wall of Photenia and blacked out chain link is a hovel of a housing project that rivals any inner city ghetto project. Nevermind the Escalades and plethora of Atv's, boats, and other rather expensive luxory toys. Or when they shut down a daycare program for kids cuz the chief needs a bigger office and more room for the casino management staff- you tend to loose sympathy for them or their "cause". SO sick of the poor me disinfranchised PC bullcrapfrom one side of this country to the next . Guess what folks as long as one group, race, or religion, or whatever gets privilege or exception over another we will never ever attain a state of equality for anyone or anything. Which for the receipients of such benefit it suits them just fine.
