Granted it is a situation that needs to be fixed but I doubt it will have
any other affect than taking food and clothing from people like Bruce S.
that make their living breeding the PNG fish. They hobbiest will have the
fish regardless of the laws.
Sure would be nice to have a politician who thought of ways to get
government out of our lives than one that looks for ways to get in.
I cant imagine what your recommendations would be if you were in the
position to do so. I dont think there would be a hobby left.
