Canada: Albertans warned not to flush 'invasive' goldfish
Officials in western Canada are urging people not to flush their pet goldfish down the toilet because they're surviving and multiplying at an alarming rate. Environmental officers in the province of Alberta say they've found goldfish the size of dinner plates in the region's storm ponds. Forty of the fish were pulled from a single pond in the north of the province earlier this year, the CBC News website reports. "That's really scary because it means they're reproducing in the wild, they are getting quite large and they are surviving the winters that far north," says Kate Wilson from Alberta's environment department. Goldfish are considered an invasive species in Canada, and the government is worried they could upset fragile local ecosystems.

Worse when you flush baby alligators down the toilet. Don't do it!

They are going to mutate to monstrous size and start eating swimmers.

I am going to assume that predatory fish that may lurk in those waters consider this a horrible cock block of the palate.

On a similiar note, a couple days ago I was driving around a few neighborhoods in a different state where I have to move to. They all had man-made ponds that said no fishing, swimming, ice skating, etc. I spent some time thinking about what sort of fish or snapping turtle I could toss in there.

I find that very hard to believe. I think a better explanation is that people dump them into the ponds directly. Either way, I'm not seeing the problem, they have carp in every body of water I've fished in Canada anyway, so they're freaking out over gold carp, why?
