Vandals set loose 40,000 baby salmon info on release and fund raiser added

After the first incident, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals issued a press release noting that "forty-thousand young salmon are swimming free in San Francisco Bay this week after someone cut the netting of their cramped holding pens."

And getting munched on as we read.
No matter who did it I hope they get caught and get what's coming to them.

 

  Not enought time to read the article, so whats going to happen to the smolts?  Were they released, where some of them might survive?

Some should survive but they normally would've had a little more time to grow more before being released.

Interesting article, thanks Mike!

All things being equal, I think I killed that many with the last female salmon I caught and kept.  What makes me feel worse is the fish I caught still had an adipose fin.  Bad carma (how do you spell carma) sucks.
