No mention of how much taxpayer money is being blown on this Canuck critter comedy?

So far, only one fish has been moved to the Vancouver Aquarium for safekeeping; koi are also difficult to capture so it remains unclear how long the evacuation will take though crews are working to relocate the remaining three fish. The one relocated koi took “several hours” to capture on Saturday, due to poor visibility in the water.Sigh/facepalm...partially drain the pond.

The last time I visited a koi pond was at the Bok Tower & Gardens outside Orlando, and the fish practically jumped out of the water to be fed.

Otters are native. Koi are not. Maybe he’s just dealing with illegal immigrants the only way he know how.

Isn’t this the place that gives free needles to the junkies?
And they can’t find it in their hearts to give some free goldfish to a poor otter?
Filthy, stinking otter-haters.

Catching Koi for an otter isn’t hard unless the otter catches it with chopsticks.

“...koi are also difficult to capture...”
Not if you drop a 110v wire into the pond, to shock them into floating to the surface. they’re real easy to net, then.
