Canned Delta Smelt appearing on Black Market in California

Apparently the farmers in California have had enough when it comes to the tiny Delta Smelt---a fish put on the endangered species list because of actions by environmental activist groups.  As a result, the state of California has diverted millions of gallons of water from the farms in the Central Valley resulting in the closing of hundreds and bringing the unemployment rate to a high not seen since the days of the Great Depression.  But now the farmers are fighting back.  It has been reported that at several locations somewhere in the foothills of the Sierra's secret canning factories have been established for the sole purpose of containing the spread of this minnow-like pest to tin cans.  One farmer was heard to say, "hell it's them or us"!
