From a strictly logical perspective, it would seems to me in my limited knowledge of all things fishing, that saving the multi-billion dollar Great Lakes fishing industry outweighs the loss of other fish as well as the carp. In all honesty, I think there would still be the criticism if authorities were able to selectively kill only the Asian carp. However, there doesn't seem to be a lot of outrage when states systematically go about reclaiming bodies of water, i.e. poisoning whole lakes, destroying virtually everything in it in order to restock it with a desired fish species. Let's try doing that with land mammals! Ha Ha I agree!

It is obviously hard to get the poison to be selective on what species it impacts. On the other hand - if nothing is done species will die from the impact of this invasive species. It's a matter of when - not should fish die. I am undecided myself about this Tom. It is obviously hard to get the poison to be selective on what species it impacts.
