Like John, I can't quite help myself. But this protection idea and the never make sense point may combine to be a clue--one group that likely wants to protect minnows and/or make fishing more difficult, and also does not worry too much about making sense is People for the Ethical treatment of Animals (PETA). These are not your garden variety animal lovers.
PETA people believe that all life is equal, literally--hardcore vegans, no fish for dinner, no leather shoes, no rats and mice to develop new cancer cures, no animal use of
any kind...
They did not expect any support, they only wanted to make a point
