If someone came in and killed your pet(and koi are more responsive to people than other types of fish) I doubt you'd be saying "its only a ___"

Property issues, respect issues, trespass.

Being a drunken idiot can lead to someone being a drunken idiot in other ways also.

These were not guys who drank a bit too much on the fishing boat and filmed it.

Personally, when my rabbit was still alive, if I caught anybody in the act of harming her, I'd have ended it swiftly and violently, but maybe that's just me.

The justice system doesn't work that way, thankfully, but drunken idiots who have no respect for anyone else should probably get a good caning.

If someone came in and killed your pet ...

Whose pet was it?

koi are more responsive to people than other types of fish ...

Sure! But what about sharks, they're pretty responsive to people? They eat people. I say, turnabout is fair play.

I completely agree. Torturing animals is one of the signs of sociopath tendencies. These creeps got off easy.

How long is a 20 lb koi?

Here are some prices I got on the internet, but they are by length.

18"-20" $375 $600 $800 $400 $790 $1,200
20"-22" $520 $790 $1,000 $610 $1,200 $2,000
22"-24" $660 $1,000 $1,250 $900 $1,760 $3,000

The numbers increase by quality of the fish.

If anyone killed and ate my $3000 fish, there would be hell to pay. Community service wouldn't do it.
