No, Maryland is the LAST place for him. That's where the snakeheads populated a few years back, and wiped out entire populations in ponds and small lakes. They don't like them there ;). It needs to go over the border into Canada to be safe. I signed this weeks ago.

Wow this is so sad. I was be angry somethign i have owned for 10years being taken away from me how dispicable.

I saw a show on this a while back called guinea pig. He went to canada or uk not sure to find a snake head and then he put his hand in the same take to see if it would bite and he started bleeding ike crazy it was funny. The owner then went on to say thatif they manage to escape they will casue the homeoowner tons of damage and ther ehave been cases of it eatnig dogs and cats. What a great fish its a waste for it to go no where.

I would take the fish just not enough room. Hope someone gets it before its put down.

I signed the petition. Regulations need to be made concerning the ACTUAL water quality parameters that a particular fish species can survive in. Northern snakeheads, which range all the way north to the yellow river in China, can survive as far north as Maryland. This animal could only conceivably be a problem in FL, HI, or one of the southern border states.

It is the duty of a righteous man to defy an unjust law. Power to Chris and Rocky.

Why do stupid people release their fish into the wild and start problems like this if everyone just kept their own fish or even donated them to a lfs or something this would not be a problem

This pisses me off. This guy can't keep his 10 year old fish but everyday idiots can go buy dogs, let them reproduce, then dump them somewhere. Wasting gov't money on animals control, etc. Not to mention how this fish can't survive where they are located. This situation is out of hand...and frankly embarrassing.

Looks like it gets to live a bit longer. That's good news. What kind of Channa is that anyways?
