Tales From the Vault- Teddy Bear Kills 2,500 Fish at Maine Farm
Tales From the Vault- Teddy Bear Kills 2,500 Fish at Maine Farm
About 2,500 rainbow trout died from lack of oxygen in a hatchery pool at Milford, Maine, in 2006 - and the culprit was a teddy bear. The child's bear, dressed in a yellow raincoat and matching hat, had somehow become lodged in a pipe that led fresh water to the pool. The deaths prompted the hatchery to post a warning notice to visitors: "RELEASE OF ANY TEDDY BEARS INTO THE FISH HATCHERY WATER IS NOT PERMITTED."
