Obama to Ban Recreational Fishing?
The Obama administration is considering new environmental rules that
would, in effect ban recreational fishing in the United States, according
to ESPN. The OBAMA asdministration is considering new environmental rulse taht would, in effect ban recreational fishing in the United States according to ESPN. The move is apparently being considered under pressure from Environmental Groups.
The excuse for this contemplated ban is the notion that recreational fishing as well as commercial fishing is depleting the stock of fish in
American waters. This notion is disputed by fishing groups, which fear
not only that a ban would prohibit Americans from pursuing a traditional
form of recreation, but also devastate the industry that supports
recreational fishing. Angling groups maintain that there is no basis in
science for an attempt to ban recreational fishing.
If the ban is ordered, it would likely come via executive order rather than an
attempt to have Congress pass legislation. Various environmental groups
are demanding that such an executive order be issued as soon as
possible.
The idea that any president would contemplate arbitrarily banning a sport that millions of Americans enjoy, from young
boys dropping lines at the local fishing h***, to adults struggling
with Marlins on the high seas, is just mind boggling. A potential ban on
recreational fishing suggests that this administration is possessed by a
myopic version of environmental ideology that transcends common sense.
It also feels empowered to tell Americans what they can or cannot do at a
whim.
Hmmmm What do you think of this?

I would really like to see them keep the American public from fishing. Especially those of us that have privated ponds. Do they realize that they will destroy the fish populations without people fishing.
