Asian Carp Barrier Act - Healthy Lakes - Healthy Lives
 

We may have a chance to save the Great lakes if everyone jumps on the
band wagon and "encourages" extreme measures by the government to stop
this threat.
The idiots that imported these thing, in the first place, should be
forced to pay for eliminating them, if even possible.

Unfortunately, it's not possible, unless you kill everything else as well.

The key here is to try to find a use for them. We seem to be able to
fish/hunt everything else to near extinction. Are they edible? Probably, but
no one wants to eat carp... at least not in the US. So you gotta rename
them. I don't think that the name "patagonian toothfish" was too palatable
until it was renamed to "chilean sea bass. " Rename them, anything but
"carp."

Maybe they simply aren't palatable... even for fish sticks. I know nothing
about them. Maybe fertilizer? Hell, the pilgrims used to use lobster for
fertilizer, since they were so plentiful. Carp... the next lobster? Who
knows.
