Comments on Trout Stage Daring Breakout at Fish Farm : Environmental News

• Trout Stage Daring Breakout at Fish Farm : Environmental News
• Recently, a fish farm in Britain was the scene of an escape worthy of Steve McQueen.
  

  Some animals arent even escaping slaughter. Takoma the dolphin, in a seemingly political statement, deserted her US Army post as a mine hunter in the Iraq war. The L.A. zoo had 35 escapes between 1998 and 2003. We shouldnt be particularly surprised by these types of …

  looks like Capt. Tureen got what’s coming.

  Life always finds a way.

  B.S.
  Fish are being stocked INTO the lake. This pipe comes from a truck that is “pouring” the fish in. They are trying to swim back up the pipe as they are being poured in, thus it looks like they are jumping out of the water.
  Still cool looking though.

  This happens sometimes at fish farms, especially with salmon. Their instinctive urge to spawn where they are born is overwhelming. They will go to the absolute extreme to follow the ’scent’ in the water to their birthplace, sometimes killing themselves in the process. Not sure if that’s what these trout are up to, but I know salmon do this type of thing.

  notice the highest trout is halfway in the stream of water, and yet it doesn’t cause any disturbance. This leads me to believe he isn’t actually going against the flow, but instead. he started on the other end of the pipe and is fighting against the current not to get dropped into the pond. Much like they do when they transport trout in tanks, as they drain the tank, the fish fight against the water and try to stay oriented “upstream”. So i say this picture is cool, but story is not factual.

  I don’t think this is fake. That is definitely normal trout behavior, but the picture could have easily been taken of the fish being poured out of the pipe.

  Like the Sahwshank Redemption of fish. Genius.

  This is the best crazy trout escape pic you will see today! Maybe even this week!

  first the trout, then right before the end, the dolphins…

  fishfarms are needed due to destruction of streams

  Humans next?

  i tried for a long time to think of a clever name involving both trout and Braveheart so I could say something about trout freedom, but failed miserably. Perhaps other reddit users will fare better.

  Escape? Yeah, these fish are imprisoned. Anthropomorphize much? Try instinct
