Mallard
Cove "lack of breath"
Yesterday,
October 14, 2002, a landscape specialist hired by HCCA, applied
some chemicals into the toddler's
playground pond, with a boat and spray.
They usualy do it from
time to time to help to kill edge plants and algae.
The spray hits both
the grass edge and the water plants
Next day, October 15, 2002
I wake up with a gift, dead fish, see below..
HCCA official position
was; it was a coincidence of lack of oxygen in the water
caused by the previous
2 days of claudy weather, usual this time of the year,
but nothing to do
with the chemicals.
Some of those 20 or more fish weight more than 25 lbs and
may have more than 4 or 5 years
old. Some of them were older than many kids
in the community, think about it.
You will not believe how big those fish are, some are bigger
than my leg.
They
simply had no place to hide, to escape, to breathe.
Some could say; "they
were just fish"... no, they were not just fish,
they were Mallard
Cove fish !!! we should protect them.

Are the swans and ducks feeding on "lack of oxygen dead fish", or "poisoned fish"??? You can also see the grass edge changing color by the effect of the chemical. |
