They're complaining about it being endangered, but they trawl for fish on that river. The fish they're trawling for is what that cat eats.

I thought it had been proven that trawling is NOT sustainable in a river?

"I take him by his mouth because I can hold onto him, but it doesn't hurt him," said Hogan, a researcher tracking the species, one of the world's largest and found only around here. Its vital signs are good:

"He's breathing, he's fighting ... He's trying to get away, now he's shaking me and biting my finger."
LOL.. i love that last line.

You can "prove" from now 'til next Thursday. The folks of Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia simply aren't interested
in such things.

That story reminded me of a picture I used to see at a hotel that I would stay in while in NorthEast Thailand. The
fish was grabbed down off Coronado. Why the picture had Cambodian print on it, I don't know. Here it is.

I've seen some pretty big catfish at the aquarium... but, I highly doubt anyone has ever caught a channel cat 6 feet longer than the person who caught it...


on another note... Viper, PunDogg, did you plan your signatures that way??

Yeah they won't care until they run out of fish... Oh wait they still won't care because they can just go somewhere else to live, and will just blame the lack of fish on the gods.
