And New York takes the cake. LMB have to be tested for whirling disease along with the trout, and trout have to be tested for LMB virus along with LMB. When asked by APHIS why NY was requiring testing species for viruses they were not susceptible to, the response was, "because we can."

Not long ago it was illegal to sell LMB to the Asian food market in NY even if they were verified to be farm raised. Finally that changed.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
