This is one of the dumbest things mentioned:

"If only one or two get through, it's not the end," Rogner said. "They'll be little fish in a big pond."

It may not be a big deal to start, there has been mention that these things can spawn up to 3 times a year, and spawn millions of eggs. It may not be the end, but what they fail to accept it that it could be the begginning of terrible things to come.

I hope this nightmare doesn't become reality.

Watch these U-tube videos if the reality isn't quit clear to everyone yet.

It is people like that, that really mess this world up ! No common sense....

Here is a video on msnbc about this. If I heard it correctly, they got at least 1 fish from above the barrier.

I think what scares me most is that with all the news coverage lately, there will probably be some idiot out there that will put a few in the lake because they will think it's funny.

simple thing back fill the canal and the problem is solved someone inform PETA we will stop killing them if they get the canal closed. And that if these carp get in the Great Lakes millions of fish will die due to starvation. Untill then rotonone the entire river system till they are no chance of any survivors.

[Adam Bomb]

Thats a great post Jim. One way to use that organization to do some good. I agree, fill the canal in. No reason they cant bring the cargo so far then transfer it to a loading dock and put it back on another boat and send it to its destination. Sure, theres more cost to doing this, but it creates more jobs for our bad economy and protects our great lakes resources. I think the added costs is a price well worth paying.

Start at one end of the river and poison the whole thing. Then charge the fish farms that are responsible. I believe that sooner or later it will be a reality, then what do you do?????The Michigan DNR is doing a good job by helping with the situation

[Walleye Express]

I'd hate to guess how much poisoning the whole Mississippi River would cost.:eek: God forbid me for saying this, but we need Federal intervention and a congressional ruling to fill the canal for all the Great Lakes safety sake.

[ALLEYES]

According to our local news, the state of MI is going to sue to close the shipping canal. Looking at suing both the Illinois and Federal Govt.

If all of the PETA people in this world would eat asian carp instead of poor vegatables the problem would be solved. I am sure there is a chef somewhere that could make them taste like spinich or tomatoes or something.
