Specialists put an electric shock into the water on Monday, bringing the fish to the surface of the pond. Twenty were taken away to be re-homed and the rest were given an extra fatal shock.
Agency spokesman Sam Elfer said: “It’s the most painless way to finish them off. We did it because Canterbury City Council want to use the pond as a wildlife reserve.
“Despite being in bowls in many people’s homes, goldfish are not native to the UK and are a threat to species such as frogs and newts. They’re a bit of a pain really, which is why we had to remove them.”

People are retarded
Which, the idiots who release goldfish into the wild or the people who want to return a pond to its natural state? Can you think of a better way to get rid of a potentially invasive species? Goldfish are carp and can be voracious.
