Japan to Kill Off Foreign Fish at Palace

Something fishy is lurking in the moat ringing Japan's imperial palace -- an American invasion that Japan says must be stopped.

Fearful indigenous Japanese fish are being wiped out by foreign fish like bluegill and black bass, the Environment Ministry said Thursday it will begin draining sections of the moat to kill off the North American natives.

It's not just the fish. They have a complete list.

The Ecological Society of Japan has compiled a list of 2,200 foreign species in a new handbook, identifying 100 as the "most aggressive" for the damage they have wrought on Japan's indigenous flora and fauna.

Strom the palace. Go you good American fish. Seek vengence for the scourge of the world that is the Japanese Imperialist freshwater fish.
