I am more than happy to volunteer my time and stomach to "disposing" of as many king crab corpses as possible... send em my way, and I'll make em disappear.

It's a pity the World isn't run by Engineers.The Engineer sees and solves the problem before it appears, politicians and the rest just keep going until they fall over the edge.

Eating the Crabs is certainly a useful contribution (and the healthy option!)

I read about this in a newspaper the other day, all they have to do is send crab fishing boats down there to catch them, they could make a fortune, and they are great eating!

Where did these critters came from? Unless they took an airplane from Alaska, where they are local, so to speak. Since they are critters of arctic waters, the gist of the article is puzzling.

They are wonderful to eat. I volunteer to eat 1 or 2 every week. I guess, fishing and volunteering makes a short iob of them.
