Yeah, and if you look at newspaper articles about wild fish actually being farmed, the government seems to be doing a terrible job about that in particular.

I live in Seattle, and couldn't agree more! I think it's reprehensible that there hasn't been more done by our current Congress, the Executive branch, and the Washington state legislature to prevent such disastrous accidents as the recent release of Atlantic salmon around Puget Sound.

I'm glad to see that parts of the government, specifically one of our US Senators, Maria Cantwell, and some folks in Washington state's legislature, like Kevin Ranker from Orcas Island, are doing the right thing on this issue. Cantwell, being in the minority party in the Senate, can't do much more than angrily issue press releases, and Ranker, being in the majority party in the Washington state Senate, is doing as much as he can—i.e. introduce legislation.
