The State of Michigan has an affirmative duty to halt this attack on public health. If the tourney goes ahead, the state has a duty to file reckless endangerment charge. Not that anyone can expect this to happen. But if a restaurant was knowingly feeding contaminated fish to the public, it would be shut down.
Thanks to the MIchigan Messenger for the coverage.
Despite advisories that warn people to avoid contact with river sediments and consuming locally caught fish, thousands are expected to participate this weekend in a Dow Chemical-sponsored walleye festival along the Tittabawassee and Saginaw rivers, where the watershed has been contaminated with harmful dioxin and other toxic substances.
And just as the Michigan Department of Community Health is warning that children and pre-menopausal women should mostly avoid eating river fish including walleye because of contamination from polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxin, organizers of the festival say they plan to donate walleye fillets to a local food bank.
You should become educated in what your talking about before just blurting out words. Let me guess, you voted for OBAMA, lol. Let me ask you a question - how's those promises working out for ya?
