    they have no stomach hence they do not get full.

    I had a brain fart. They eat 40- 50% of their body weight daily. And they get to be 100lbs.

    The electric barrier didn't work because it was never turned on at full capacity, it was running at half or less and the army coir of engineers were warned that it won't work at such a low voltage. what was left of the great lakes is going to go through hell with VHS disease and the asian carp at the same time. Maybe the virus will kill the carp lol. Maybe the back up plan is: 'mess up the lakes enough and nothing will survive than start over.'
