The Scales of Justice

602167645_c1bdb11df7.jpgA San Francisco man was sentenced to two years in federal prison for selling endangered fish on the Internet.  Click here to read the story in The Chronicle.   It’s an Asian arowana fish and one of them can sell for $3,000. 

Some things to think about while you’re fishing today:

I was almost frightened to post a picture of the fish here in case I was in violation of some federal fish posting law of which I’m unaware. 

Wouldn’t want to be this guy in prison, having to answer to other inmates about why he’s locked up. 

These guys who write laws for these fish are amazing.  What do you think it would take to get the wildlife and fisheries people to write some stuff down for the protection of our children?
