Ok....when I first read the title I thought it was a war on crap.
Most efforts to eliminate an invasive species fail. Foxes and cats in Australia, wild hogs in Texas, Fire ants and Kudzu in Alabama, Eucalyptus in California, Zebra mussels in the Great Lakes...
Good luck but the best way is to eat as many as you can.
Here I was expecting to read an article about WaPo or NYT.
At least, the story provided a photo of dead fish, which will be useful elsewhere on Free Republic.
This image can also be used for summarizing the many fake news stories floating around the net.
Turtle swimming with the fishes in the swamp?
The Chinese need to replace the protein from all their infected pigs they killed. Sounds like a win-win to me.
On a side note, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was forced to close the uppermost lock and dam on the Mississippi, due to pressure from enviro wackos and concern trolls, due to carp.
This action effectively cut off river travel to boaters, canoeists and kayakers, who live, or launch upstream. Also, it caused transfers and loss of jobs for lock operators, tow boat crews, and much industry upstream.
Biggest problem with this solution was, the carp were already above the dam.
One of the kooks responsible for this government action?
None other than the genius, Amy Klobuchar.
I thought the name was changed to “Silver” carp because “Asian” carp was deemed to be RACIST!!!!!
Harvest the flying carp and turn them into Fish emulsion fertilizer. Sell it cheap to farmers. Sell it to China.
OR fund an initiative to develop a way to produce oil and gas from the carp.
Maybe they can do both at the same time!
Create a new fresh water fishery!
If they can produce fuel and fertilizer from kitchen waste, they can produce it from flying carp!
Turn 'em into cat food. Or fertilizer.
And what is the “decisive blow?”
Has anyone anywhere successfully eradicated an invasive species?

Nile Crocodile: Several specimens have been recently captured in South Florida, though no signs that the population is reproducing in the wild have been found.
YET!
Could be more problems down in God’s waiting room?
A federal issue?
No, they're here now, and we can call them "Oriental-American carp". /s
You see an invasive species taking over.
I see cat food, high protein chicken feed, hog feed, fertilizer...
...and paging Jethro Tull (Ian Anderson) pelletized fish to feed the salmon in his aquaculture pens!
Federal waterways.
Don’t the silver carp start out as gold fish?
