Keep Bellefont hatchery open petition

Just figured some of you may want to sign this petition.

Please refrain from debating on why hatcheries should or should not be open. I think we had about 5 threads on this for 20 pages of the same thing.

Thanks

Thanks for posting that, I needed a good laugh.

So, basically this petition is to save bald eagles.

Don't forget the butterflies!! Seriously, I don't know what's more clownish, the petition or the comments from the people who signed it.

"There are 18 counties that this hatchery serves including: Armstrong, Berks, Bucks, Bulter, Cameron, Carbon, Clarion, Clearfield, Dauphin, Fulton,Indiana, Lehigh, Jefferson, Potter, Schuykill, Tioga, Warren and Westmoreland Counties"

Man! Where will people ever find trout in some of those counties if this hatchery isn't here to stock them!?

Sorry Mike. I just couldn't resist ;-)

She has no idea what she's talking about, must be a conservative.

On a website called "change.org", by a person who seems to be motivated by protecting an only somewhat rare, predatory bird. I have my doubts...

Ok this one was trolling a bit, i admit it. My cousin sent it to me. He actually watches the eagles at lunch break.

the point of a troll is to aggitate and anger people, not have them laugh at you.

 

[mike_richardson]

figured you guys would like the save the eagle ploy at keeping them open is all

Even if they really wanted to save the hatchery, what good is signing a petition? It's $$$$ we're talking about, not fish, birds or whatever. If they pledge 5k a piece with their signature, then it's a viable petition.

2015 Benner Springs is the new home of a nesting pair of bald eagles!

 

[mike_richardson]

agree, if the moneys not there its not their. The PFBC has been making extreme cuts all the way around. Every program they have has taken a hit in one way or another. The loss of license sales is crushing them. They will be lucky to survive all of this.

Where do I sign the petition to close the rest of the hatcheries?

 

[addictedangler]

If these people are really concerned they would be glad the hatchery is shutting down. There is a one meal a month fish consumption on that hatchery . Sounds like to me a thank you for shutting down is what should be considered.
