Letter: Illusion hides path to extinction

The Columbian
Published: June 1, 2015, 12:00am

Neither wild salmon or natural salmon are treated as real. Fish unclipped claimed as wild likely are a mental deception in the physical counts. Deceptive wild fish means that impure fish come at a price. Hatchery fish hid the wild fish losses and caused unnoticed extinctions. Man has smokescreened the issue by doing badly in decades of science using fins to identify fish. Wild fish losses being mixed genetically goes on still.

Management dictates dances using only their musical science. It is their own invention of hatchery fish that built a strong foundation but they will not use these fish the right way. A normal result for fish blending in nature levels their one-fish game and exposes how they avoid common sense.

Fish decisions are now made by many groups all on steroid imaginations. It is a grand illusion that everyone on the Pacific West Coast awaits.

Climate also dictates outcomes. Maybe water quality at our hatcheries is the salvation. Faster-than-ever stresses on wild fish mean we could be helping them with culverts, but having no water voids the human determination. This is the beginning junkyard of activity and physical projects that nature simply is starting to destroy. Extinctions will be the outcome.
