They'll never learn and they belong in jail. For seemingly countless years, the California Department of Fish and Game has been insisting that they have the right answers to eradicate the predatory, non-native Northern Pike from pristine Lake Davis north of Portola.
In 1997, CDF&G poisoned the lake, promising the nearby commnunity that it would be harmless to their water supply. The theory was that they could restock the lake with more desirable trout after the poisoning. The drinking water, however, became so tainted that they had to brong in bottled water for months, and the local economy almost totally dried up.
The hated Northern Pike, however, survived.
Now, CDF&G is at it again. This time, they're careful not to talk about several prior attempts to get rid of the pike, and they're again promising that the drinking water supply will be fine. "It's imperative this eradication project quickly moves forward."
Imperative. Emergency. Safe.
