All fish in Bristol lake to be killed in order to prevent fishing

It's my personal theory that all city councils everywhere are insane.

All the fish in a lake in Bristol are to be removed and destroyed in a bid to discourage fishing.

Last year, the local Neighbourhood Partnership voted to ban fishing at St George's Park lake to stop wildlife being harmed by fishing line and hooks.

It has now approved an option proposed by Bristol City Council to destroy the fish rather than relocate them.
Now, this is the line that floors me:

No kind of ecosystem? Apparently this one supports wildlife in such abundance that you can't cast a reel without hurting a part of it!
