Problem is not the poachers... problem is moron human beings who'd pay $15000/jar to buy eggs of fish that taste like shit...

BLACK CAVIAR might not taste all that good to some, but its hands down the most healthies thing u can ever eat.

I tasted Caviar once just to see what the big deal was and had to spit it out into a napkin. I think rich people only eat it because THEY can.

these poachers are earning money so survive with bare essentials. Lets move onto those who distribute/eat caviar ........we mustn't go there become that be where the big fat rich snobs reside.

The fat cop get's paid by the criminals who do this. He would be replaced by another one if he doesn't go by the mafia rules. Full on corruption.

Sturgeon almost gone from the Lake Of the Woods in canada too. Too bad, prehistoric fish, sad to see them go

[dangermous1968]
