I didnt even hear about this. But its not like anyone without a HUGE ass pond could have taken care of them.

They say koi, but all I see in the buckets are common goldies.

Yeah, I didn't even hear about this either... Sucks, poor lil guys. But as said above, no one without a gigantic pond would have been able to save them.

I think the reason they didn't offer them to the public was because of the possibility of disease:

"The fish in the pond's dirty water also are likely to carry viruses and bacteria that would discourage other public or private facilities from taking them on."

and what lake and pond is crystal clear? You get the same disease infecting fish from clean water
