Re: The article in Insight "Fish or Farms" on Feb. 14. I hope it doesn't
come down to one or the other, but if I had to choose, it'd be salmon all
the way. I can grow vegetables and fruits in my backyard, but I can't grow
salmon. The farmers may come and go, but once salmon is extinct, it is gone
forever. I don't think future generations could ever forgive us if we let
that happen. I sympathize with the farmers and hope there is a way to
support them too, but the priority has got to be healthy salmon. The loss of
this species would cause untold damage up and down the food chain, and
fishermen are as important as farmers. But the real priority must be saving
the wild salmon, the fisheries along with them; then we can save the
farmers.
