The dumping of Koi and Goldfish is illegal over here even if they are
healthy....

That doesn't not apply to where I or the person who recommended the
illegal killing of protected birds live - the USA.



Releasing (dumping) non native fish in the U.S . is most certainly
illegal and punishable by a hefty fine.

Of course it is. That's why they go to a 3000g farm pond. No different
than keeping them in my pond.

Knowingly releasing diseased fish is a criminal act punishable by a fine
plus possible jail time.

Of course. Is is also illegal to keep them in your own pond? Is that a
criminal act? What the difference between our ornamental ponds and farm
stock ponds? Why is it legal to keep them in an ornamental pond and not a
stock pond?

Ecosystems

A man-made stock pond is an ecosystem but an ornamental pond isn't?

have been devastated by the introduction of non-native species
and diseases to which native species have have no immunity.

That's why no one dumps them in the rivers or lake, at least to my
knowledge. :-)))
