Working for the Humane Society, sometimes i get called to go pick up a cat or dog but today it was fish. We got a call last week (i was off) about an abandoned house with cats dogs and birds but the neighbor called back today about the pond fish dieing. They sent me saying it was "a little rock pond." I assumed it was a small 300g like mine with some fantails. WRONG! The thing was huge. 20X10 and 3' deep and all i saw was fish. I thought, i need more buckets! all i brought was a net and 3 20g coolers. I found a 10g garbage can to scoop water out until it was about 4" deep. I dug through the leaves and tree limbs and got about 20 comets averaging 8" and a 13" koi. oh yea, and a 5" minnow. yesterday i had 5 koi about 4-5" and one comet, now i have almost 30 and no one wants these fish. Free fish suck!
 
lol, funny stuff!

you work in animal control?
 
yes and no. I work aat the humane society in the clinic area. i take care of all the hurt, starved and injured dogs and cats. Pretty much i get everything that comes in until its healthy enough to adopt out. Right now my worst cases are a 3month old puppy that had its leg chopped off by gang members, a one eyes cocker pup and a dog who just had 15 puppies.
I drive a chevy 1500 so i usually get sent out to get big dogs.
 
Good for you! Always nice to hear stories of compassion
 
Sorry about your little situation, but it's good to hear there are still people who work and care for other things just because they are decent people! Me and my mother both donate money to the humane society every month and all our quadripets come from either the SPCA or the pound.
 
hope someone steps up and gets them, thats a great thing you do
 
where do these fish stay now ???

is your place of work set up to house these fish???

and why can you not just try to get a few local LFS to take them from you ???
