From the “we can’t make this up” files comes this. Is it a potential solution to the jumping, flying, devouring Asian carp menace? Let you answer thata one, but I do know this: Nothing mankind can devise will keep those suckers outta anywhere, same as zebra mussels, hydrilla, etc.
Following is from here:
Hundreds or thousands of fish died in Brookville Lake (IN) this fall as a result of koi herpes virus, or KHV, Indiana’s Department of Natural Resources said Tuesday.
Purdue University’s Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory tested carp found in the lake and discovered the virus. The virus affects common carp and koi.
There is no human health risk with the virus, though the DNR is asking people out boating and fishing to help prevent the spread of it.
Uh, what? “Prevent the spread of it”?! Why on earth would you want to do that?
Does anyone seriously want all the carp we have in our lakes now, let alone the wacky, ugly Asian carps that are just a few years short of a national infestation?
This one takes the wack-job cake.
Okay, maybe that guy and his wacko buds, but not me. You?
