Re: NFC: Re: Breeder's Program Want List
Hi Dakota,
That is a valid point. The average person will see value in an item of
beauty, and if protecting that beautiful animal requires protecting an
entire stream or watershed, then all species, even the less pleasing to the
eye, benefit from the interest.
Hopefully I have not been too abrasive.

Hi Norm... While you are correct in thinking that the fish on the BP want
list are some of the most colorful, that is not the only reason that these
people chose these fish... Perhaps they feel that by starting with some of
the prettier ones they can raise awareness of all the native fishes....
They ( the breeders) have to start somewhere so why not some of the fish
they feel would create or arouse interest in people that only see the
natives as drab, color-less and ugly !!!!
