This carp is pretty much the other Gold Fish people keep at family fish tank, feed every day and take care.
Sad, sad killing for enjoyment 
So many die due to hunger but we westerner 'civilization' just have a fun with wasting valuable food source.
Next 'funny' stuff could be riding you 4WD quad on matured wheat fields. 
Burning forest for fun ?
Killing whales for folklore? ( that is happen already)
Get over yourself princess, your not that important than anyone gives a toss what you think.
It's a plague of feral fish destroying a natural ecosystem.
Being half arsedly destroyed by equally feral humans.
So what? It's funny as, that's what!
Macro you got this one waaaaay wrong mate.
These are asian carp and they are invading southern US waterways and shutting them down. Totally. People can't swim, boat, kayak, or do anything as they're getting black eyes, teeth knocked out, stitches, etc.
They are obviously decimating all other species.
It is such a serious problem that authorities are netting, electroshocking, dynamiting, and poisoning the waters in an enormous, expensive, and harmful (to other wildlife) war on these fish.
Also they're not good eating, greasy and bony.
that's a victorian 1st generation greek, italian and maltese heaven! all that's missing is a mafia stick and a mincer mounted on the back of the boat, ready to make patties
ssshhh!! don't let them watch this vid or we'll have them jumping all over the place here too
p.s.
victorian maltese/greek/italian carp recipe
let carp swim in bath with clean fresh water for 4 days
add lemon juice, herbs and seasoning to the carp
wrap the carp and a house brick in tinfoil
place in pre heated low temp oven for 2 hours to slow cook
remove from oven and let sit for 30mins, unwrap, throw away carp and serve the brick
enjoy
I thought this was a water sports forum? This is funny for too many reasons, if I have to tell you what they are you need to cheer up a bit!
What's gets me is the woaa is the fish bullsheet. Really? Ever heard of mixo in rabbits, 44gallon mouse traps that drown thousands of mice at a time?
Now how about all the soft plastic lures that get bitten off thousands of native fish that later cant shiit them out and die a horrible death so little jimmy and his dad can have a harmless little fish off the wharf boat etc?
So many things are preventable, go,prevent them, but when it's too late, why not just watch the evolution of ways to deal with the resultant chaos.
Zoo magazine? I fail to see wtf your on about there.
Cheer up you lot it's a bunch of ridiculous costumes, guys getting smacked in the nuts, trying to catch fish and doing bizarre stuff behind a boat! What's not to like?
Too many sad negative people around here, go get a friggin wave and loosen up 
Actually did eat carp and is delicious when well made
Although bony, agree, that make you only eat slowly and carefully.
In fact is wasn't fast food nether but highly celebrated meal.
Carp is popular in Europe culture too.
Due to shrinking ocean fisheries future lie in aqua farming and people need to learn to eat fresh water fish not only tuna and dolphins.
Anyway with such unemployment in US and carp abundance I can't see any reason why Yankees couldn't catch, process and export in cans to Asian and European markets.
In canned food bones are not a problem also.
macro, was it our introduced euro carp in vic you ate?
i'm told that there is nice eating carp overseas
There are shutting down big Heinz ketchup factory in Victoria.
Why not switch production to carp in tomato souse and send back to China ?
Two problems solved - with tomato and unwanted fish then extra cash to purchase their $2 junk.
Actually I remember even talking about such ideas with some big fish processing executives one day.
They enlighten me that any canned fish food must be imported from Malaysia or Indonesia and they don't bother with production here.
i don't think australia wants carp at all as they eat young native fish and dirty the water (particularly in the slow moving gippsland fresh rivers) . eurocarp are like a blend of cockroaches & rabbits, amazing survivors and outnumber everything. when i was young and dumber, i caught a milk crate full of carp at a local dam, rode more than an hour home with them in the milk crate on my bike (no water in crate) to put them in a swimming pool, and when i arrived they were still alive and survived
they've been known to survive in salty water and known to wiggle their way back into water if left within 10 metres from the waters edge
if there was a way to separate the existing carp in large quantities from our natural rivers, and send to china, i'm all for it, but......
maybe the gov can pay fisherman to catch and bag them, ready to send to national foods
maybe we're already eating them when we order barra at a restaurant? Ala deep sea perch?
I used to live in the Balkans, they seem to love carp out there. I had curried,boiled,roasted,fried, deep fried, really deep fried,bbq,toasted,microwaved and burnt carp, no matter how it was cooked unless its been left in running fresh water it will taste like mud.
