RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

and therefore getting shot by police.

USA, maybe?

No, Germany actually. Some 2m+ fish took objection to people swimming in the lake, and caused serious bite injuries. The fish was shot by the police who had arrived to help when it got close to other people who were just leaving the water.

I was (half) expecting to be able to tease you but, well, that's not funny, my bad. I hope there was nothing that serious as far as the bites were concerned.

Was the heat much higher than it usually is? Could that explain the resistivity of the fish? I've often wondered how the extreme heat waves would impact animals around us.

What is funny is that the fish was sold at a local restaurant after it was shot.
