Not to my knowledge, but that could have occurred in the past. If you have any accurate info by all means post it.
Hatcheries are an interesting topic. A lot of people really support them even though there is evidence that they are not the solution. My club runs a hatchery, like many other clubs, and so when we screened "Artificial" there were some mixed reactions; I'm sure you know how that goes.
And that brings us to an important point: BCWF is a volunteer organization with lots off different viewpoints on specific issues. Not every member of BCWF agrees with every thing BCWF does, and BCWF changes it's mind on things as volunteers cycle through, as perspectives change, and as new information emerges. Some things we get right and some things we get wrong.
We got this one right, I think, and I think it's right in a big and valuable way.
What do you think? Are we on the right track on this one, today? If so, watch the vid, share it, promote the Facebook page and thank Linda Aylesworth for reporting on it. It takes a lot of time and effort to get that material and build the relationship that gets it on air.
