Shellfish season canceled thanks to crappy fishermen
Seriously. Hundreds of fishermen crapped enough in a river that their human waste contaminated the shellfish down river. Only idiocracy fishermen would shit in the same river they pull their food out of.
But less than three weeks after the fishery opened Aug. 1, the fishermen’s conduct led the state Department of Health to enact an emergency shellfish-bed closure Aug. 18 at Annas Bay, near the mouth of the river, to protect the public from fecal coliform contamination in shellfish.
“I look at this as a spill,” said Bob Woolrich, shellfish specialist with the state Department of Health.

I can’t believe this is America, or the 21st century for that matter. I would have thought that humanity has learned, shit is bad. These morons deserve to have their season ruined.
