Sorry theres a lot of youngsters now here that need a good sortin' out, this kinda crap pisses me off:

Pranksters have killed 19 Koi in a garden pond in South Shields by pouring washing-up liquid into their pond.

Darren Corkin, 34, from West Harton, South Shields, returned home from work to find his pond filled with bubbles and his fish dead, says a report in The Shields Gazette.

The 19 young Koi in the pond, which were only a few inches long, are believed to have suffocated.

Corkin told The Shields Gazette: "Ever since I got the fish, I went out and checked them every night. This night I went out and the pond was just a massive bubble.

"I was so angry. I only had the Koi carp for a couple of months.

"I have always had fish, but I was getting the garden done, so decided to put a pond in.

"I was told two of the Koi carp were quite rare. It was a nasty thing that happened. All I wanted was a nice garden
for the kids to play in and this happens.

"The two oldest children were devastated when they found out."

The pond has since be cleaned and the traces of detergent removed, but Corkin says he is wary of replacing the fish.

Anyone with information on the incident should contact South Tyneside Area Command on 08456 043 043.
 
That's why kids/teens should be chained in their rooms except for school lol

A friend of my mom's had the same thing happen to her pond last year.
 
What a bunch of little bastards! I would be royally pissed if that happended to me. I know someone who had bleach poured into her pond. All her fish died including a few 2 foot plus koi. :irked:
 
Man that is the kinda crap that makes me soo angry. Kinda justifies shooting trespassers on ure property.
 
In the future, when I buy my house and build a pond, it will have a surveillance camera on it 24/7...
 
I hope that they find out who did it, bust the kids for maliscious mischief, and sue the parents for cost and clean-up.
 
i once put mr. bubbles in a fountain in front of a bank but it was only a fountain, no fish.
 
Well, that really really sucks. My father-in-law has a pond, I got him some koi to go in there as well. They have been in there almost a year, and are now almost a foot long, would be REALLY pissed off if someone put bubbles in that pond. Its in his fenced backyard, so if they are back there they better have a hella good reason. I guess there is a law in Mississippi that allows you to shoot people if they are in your yard. No questions....so they better be praying, cuz I'll be a spraying...
