“My dad actually stuck his thumb in its mouth, because we didn’t know what it was,” Asbury said. “It bit down on him and he said, ‘It’s got teeth.’ ”

lol, I wonder if his dad was really that polite about a 13" P biting down on his finger.

but in all seriousness, why do people insist on doing this. surely something in their heads say that it might be a bad idea releasing a predator into an unnatural habitat. HR669 will get passed because if idiots keep releasing top predators into unnative lakes/rivers.
 
We did notice it's a Pacu, not a piranha, in the pic right?
 
even if it is a pacu it is still not endemic in the US right?

Correct, but I believe the "Here we go again" title was refering to yet another Pacu being caught and labeled as a piranha by the media to garner attention.
 
either way it's dumb. Just take it to a dang pet shop to give it up. They will gladly take it.

Glady take it? Oh hells no. Very few shops will glady take a pacu. We've had people leave 'em in buckets outside when we say no to trades.

There is a simple solution...eat them.
