The Talking Carp

August 5, 2009

A carp who had been caught and released more than 60 times has died after eating unprocessed nuts. This article is full of forehead-slappingly bizarre statements, such as:

The owner of the Bluebell Lakes, Tony Bridgefoot, said she liked having her picture taken.

And this, from a local fisherman:

We get knocked by the anti-anglers who say that fish feel pain, and I believe some university bods have proved that some fish do feel pain, but until you sit me down next to a carp and it says to me ‘ I feel immense pain’, then it’s an open-ended question.

Until a carp sits down next to me and tells me otherwise, I’m going to assume the above person is insane. Link.
