That has to be the funniest headline of the month and the story is about as amusing. SAVE the CARP!

Maybe there is not a good reason to put expensive fish in a pond that is vulnerable for feeding by otters and other wildlife. It sounds like they are sparing no cost to “save” the remaining koi, and plan to buy more to restock.

Sounds like a completely looney plan to me, but to each his own or whatever.

“living in the ponds at Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Park in Chinatown.”

I’m from the city and know that area very well, especially that park (best dimsum on earth across it) . This has been going on for the past 20 years. Either raccoons, badgers and cats get those koi but the neighborhood is full of rich Chinese who keep filling that damn pond with these pricey fishes. Even saw Japanese students just grab one and put in a plastic bag once..

"Earlier this year, a koi carp fish was sold at auction in Japan by breeder Kentaro Sakai for 203 million Yen ($2.4 million CAD), setting a new record."

Forget it koi. It’s Chinatown.

I had a bald eagle land in a tree in my back yard once (the closest I ever saw one in the wild). In his beak was a giant, beautiful, shiny gold koi.

I'm guessing he didn't find it in the Potomac!

Koi ponds are like fast food joints for wild critters!

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.

Madonna, a 50-plus-year-old koi who had been at the park for the past 20 years

Haven't seen any new music from her lately, wondered where she was...

...but I don't really give a carp.

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.
