Grass Carp caught in Grand River this week

[onwind]

On one hand different fishes are treated differently, In China we have the tale that all the carps will jump up to the barrier and gate of dragon, if it succeed it will become a dragon. dragon is a kind of god in China. so Carps especially golden ones are somewhat saint.

On the other hand, China is a large country with long history, we have different traditions in different area among different people, and we have very different beliefs and convention. some Chinese release fishes, some Chinese eat fishes, some Chinese eat fishes when they release some at the same time. I don't think it's appropriate to consider them as the same guys.

1. We believe that you save the fish's life by releasing it otherwise it will be eaten.

So they release goldfish in the local ponds but then catch and eat the bass and sunfish?
