So that knuckle dragging meathead Barney rubble joyce has decided to release a herpes virus "found in Israel" into our waterways in an attempt to eliminate feral carp, no one knows if its going to work, its already been proven that it wont work overseas. Once the virus is out there we are stuck with it for good, millions of tonnes of virus infected and diseased fish rotting in our water ways, what could possibly go wrong? I'm sure it will be a huge success like other Government programs such as introduction of gambusia and the cane toad.
Ive been told by a vet that this virus can be spread by water birds, so its likely to spread to our ponds and tanks eventually, so watch your prized koi and goldfish, they could end up wiped out, and if you consider mutations over the long term this could be a potential catastrophic disaster.
I'm so pissed off about this, I wish we could stop this from happening, the Government is such a disaster when it comes to our aquatic environments, they fail to tackle the true causes of water habitat destruction which is farming and mining and they always go for easy targets instead, dammit Im jumping in my skin with anger, how can this one completely stupid moron make such an important decision for our Country!
