The Star is far from the only source which has reported on this. I've read many, I've spoken with folks affected. Distrusting one source does not make the issue disappear. Folks should be allowed to do just about anything on their own property provided they are also held responsible when their activities cause harm to others. Government should have the authority to regulate that which poses significant risks to resources, such as high fence deer operations. Two fences, 25' tall and 25 yards between and you can raise all the freakish deer you want, chain them to a tree and get paid the big bucks by the pathetic who consider it "hunting" to shoot them.
I still say the man who's fish farm was flooded and released the Asian carp into the Mississippi River system should be forced, at the end of a gun if necessary, to spend every waking moment of the rest of his life attempting to remove them from the waters they have no business being in. Instead, someone came up with an excuse and everyone who enjoy(ed) the now virtually destroyed resources gets screwed because he wanted to make a living and couldn't have cared less about the affect his choices had on others.
