Thousands of fish die for faulty evidence

The Chicago river, a tributary to the Great Lakes, is believed to be a potential conduit through which the Asian Carp could invade, ploriferate in, and dominate the Great Lakes. The river's first line of defense, an electric barrier, according to DNA evidence collected on the river bank, apparentley had been breached, meaning that the Great Lakes Ecosystem could be in great potential danger. The carp has already proliferated in the Mississippi river, and puts strain on native life species with it's agression. It also is detested by anglers due to the extremeley powerful leaps it takes in response to the sound of motors, seemingly attacking humans.
In response, one section of the waterway will be poisoned in a desperate attempt to prevent the spread of this dangerous fish. The action is extremeley deadly, and will kill scores of native fish. Still, the fish has been equated to a cancer on the Mississippi river, and the poisoning chemotherapy.
Last night, the procedure was carried out, and approximateley 200,000 of pounds of dead fish now float upon 10 kilometers of the river. So far, none of the two invasive carp species have been gathered.
To add insult to injury, the rotting corpses will be consecrated to a landfill.
