Maybe there is not a good reason to put expensive fish in a pond that is vulnerable for feeding by otters and other wildlife. It sounds like they are sparing no cost to “save” the remaining koi, and plan to buy more to restock.
Sounds like a completely looney plan to me, but to each his own or whatever.

“living in the ponds at Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Park in Chinatown.”
I’m from the city and know that area very well, especially that park (best dimsum on earth across it) . This has been going on for the past 20 years. Either raccoons, badgers and cats get those koi but the neighborhood is full of rich Chinese who keep filling that damn pond with these pricey fishes. Even saw Japanese students just grab one and put in a plastic bag once..

Your remark reminds me of a gross story from my childhood. My parents suffered from ameobic dysentery for I while and I had to donate a stool sample. As I provided it, my mother said, “Don't waste any!” I broke up laughing about the very idea of “wasting” poop.

Forget it koi. It’s Chinatown.
To: Gamecock
I had a bald eagle land in a tree in my back yard once (the closest I ever saw one in the wild). In his beak was a giant, beautiful, shiny gold koi.
I'm guessing he didn't find it in the Potomac!
Koi ponds are like fast food joints for wild critters!
