This is another case of bringing in alien fish (from the Amazon), selling them as pets and when people cannot look after their voracious appetites they dump them in the rivers. Sad!! Piranhas can be very dangerous in schools of them if they are hungry. If they offering money to catch them, the people must be warned of the danger.

brainless American Government had been vaccinated leprosy into South Americans without their knowledge about 60 years ago; I have a feeling that piranhas found in China are planted by American Government also.
