The point of me forwarding this is that the legislation in the works is
going to try to stop the spread of big head, and silver carp, in U.S.
waters. The wording though is vague, and could easily be used for all sorts
of bans and additional interpretted regulation. The post asked people
reading to contact their congress people and let them know they want the
wording looked at and to be very precise. So that it only pretains to these
large carps that are causing or will be causing trouble. Not to be a loosely
worded law that could be used to stop all interstate travel and commerce of
fish.
No one wanted to stop this legislation, they just wanted it worded properly
so it could not go over and stop most or all interstate commerce and
transport of fish. Like the examples in my first paragraph which I doubt are
cause for concern.
