Please Don't Destroy Us

If the wild runs of coho and chinook salmon of Issaquah Creek could speak to us they would say: "Please don't play God with us, let us go to our ancestral spawning grounds God created for us. Please don't destroy us at the Issaquah hatchery. Help us to survive."
The above runs are in danger of extinction because of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's latest attempt to play God-destroying wild salmon to prop up inferior hatchery stocks.
"John Cobb, dean of the College of Fisheries at the University of Washington, cited hatcheries as one of the principal threats to the salmon....He cautioned that reliance on hatcheries to maintain salmon runs would eventually destroy the fishery."
