I first saw this on the local news on Friday and it seems the occasional swimmers are in danger of being eaten by the overstocked carp in Henleaze lake in Bristol. Reading Ian Clokes thread reminded me of it.
Two tons of fish being slaughtered seems a bit over the top to me and that the carp have disease is perfectly normal, all carp in all lakes have diseases which is why we don't allow random tranferring of fish. Why can't they be moved to a suitable lake that doesn't have carp and I am also thinking of newly dug lakes as well as existing ones, surely they could be held until such a place requires them.
