Witis is not being serious szlamany. I mean he talks about "guilty animals" and fish taking over the universe. He's just poking fun with this topic.
I've not been able to fully read digest? any of these posts - it's been pages and pages of debating.
I'd rather see moor mermaids....
Is that OK to eat...
Fish and lizards need to be stopped before they take over the universe where as chickens and cows are friendly creatures that must be defended rather than murdered.Quote:

For example snakes continue to grow while they are alive so that if you engineered a species of artificial robosnakes they too would continue to eat and grow until they take over the universe or die trying.Quote:

Thus humans are responsible for any decisions they make about which animals to defend and which animals to consume. If you consciously choose to murder innocent animals like cows and chickens then you also have to accept responsibility for committing those crimes.Quote:

Nah, you can't believe everything Hollywood churns out, at some point the science has to come into play.Quote:

Yeah, except that you are making up your data based on guesses and wishful thinking. You have no practical experience with any of this and it's kind of showing.Quote:

I am not sure that was the point Dan was making, he was suggesting that it wasn't their natural environment and that they only survive in the desert in cool spring fed streams i.e. trout are a cool climate rather than a desert fish and that they haven't evolved to live there.
And you repeatedly ignore the fact that those trout ARE native species. The reason Schill works with them is because they are species of concern in the state, which they couldn't be unless they were native. Therefore, those are species that have evolved to withstand desert conditions. We are the ones impacting them.Quote:
Not the trout as they are a cool climate species and so you know that there are going to be problems trying to get them to survive in the desert, so any of the native species that have evolved to withstand desert conditions.
No. For a fish to be sought after in the fish markets, it has to pass a different criteria first: It has to be large enough so that a person would bother eating them. Most desert fish are tiny.Quote:
As far as picking out the species to focus on I guess that would involve a series of taste tests to determine which varieties will be most sought after in the fish markets, although perhaps you can make a case for some of the other less tasty varieties.
I believe he is quite serious. This is his view, as strange and alien as it may seem. He went here a year ago and has come back. In all this, as in everything else posted, Witis is consistent. That's why it's the Witis way. That Disney-fascist view of the animal world is why I chose to call him Bambi once he came up with a nickname for me. Since he gave me one, I could do no less, and the name was obvious.Quote:
