Do you prefer the ostrich approach instead............smile.

An odd Grass Carp caught in Dunnville is a very different thing from saying "Asian Carp are here".

There was a Grass Carp caught in Toronto (forgot if it was the Don or Humber) several years ago...and yet, no Grass Carp had been caught since. Similarly, there was an article and there was the same fear mongering at that time that "it's the end of the world!".

In general, I just hate the term Asian Carp...specify Silver Carp or Bighead Carp or Grass Carp so people will know what is being talked about. Black Carp are very few in numbers anyways and difficult to distinguished from Grass Carp. There are debates how established the Black Carp are in Mississippi drainage anyways.

That would be responsible in my mind. Ostrich in the sand would be to lump that sterile Grass Carp as an "Asian Carp" and create fear. That's just a sign that the reporter don't know what he/she is writing about.
