I assume 'they' is the government (we, really) which has to fix the problems caused by ignorant & selfish individuals. If you're comparing catfish in an isolated trout pond to Prussian carp in a river, I don't think that's a reasonable comparison. What action would be appropriate to get rid of a fish species in a stream full of native fish? If a species can't be selectively eliminated, how much cost and collateral damage is acceptable?
I expect the catfish situation in this pond will be dealt with effectively. I hope someone learns a lesson in the process, but perhaps that's too optimistic.
