The Fish & Game
Pioneer Press
Fort Jones, CA
June 25, 2010
To the Editor:
We have to save
the coho salmon
The records are so very new
Was there ever very many?
Was there always just a few?
They ruined families, homes, and towns
So the spotted owl could have its way
But, we've never really heard
If the owl is better off today
We fenced our land along the creeks
It's not as scenic as it was
But everybody volunteered
They said it was a worthy cause
We went to meeting after meeting
Just to learn what we could do
We learned we were expendable
And they want the water too!
In the cruelest trick of all
If the Fish & Game should have their say
We will have to buy a permit
To give our water rights away!
