I hate it when fish are dumped in local rivers and ponds...

It's just like taking a dog out and dumping it in the country, to leave it fend for it's self..

There is no excuse..

x2 too what Nicki said!!

thats dam right! for the poor pet fish and our river fish to which are found know where ales in the world and silly people who do this are risking wiping out our native fish. something people from usa have see in there own rivers (those dam flying carp) funny to watch. not to deal with
