I think this one comes close to my idea of just watching anime.  | ||

Maybe instead of changing the type of fish, you can like somehow booby-trap the fish you currently have? That way, when the bird or w/e that is eating your fish, they would fall victim to your trap. | ||

Considering that the hawks that maybe hunting my fish are protected by animal law, I think not, So basically piranhas are fine because it's animal vs animal, machine vs animal is unfair | ||

Also, maybe instead of like strapping bombs to them, you could do something that would poison the birds. Then they couldn't tie that back to you, right? | ||

K, so we have to somehow poison the fish. So you just need to research a way to poison the fish, and not kill them. And as the owner of the fish, the responsibility there lies with you. | ||

Your best bet is to somehow frame one of your neighbors, perhaps putting a heat-guided crossbow on their roof in order to shoot the birds so that you don't get the blame. | ||

I've heard of cases like that all the time.

Well the thing is, how would he get caught? Would the police know to investigate his fish pond when hawks start showing up dead? He could also poison the fish in other areas as well, to cover his trail. | ||

Blasty could also try and frame the person who sees the dead hawk as the one who poisoned them. Afterall, isn't the first person who finds the corpse supposed to be the 1st suspect? | ||

Well I mean whatever doesn't kill the fish, and kills the hawk, might kill other things. So you might see some kind of complete ecological meltdown. Or some environmentalist/scientist might dissect the hawk and find that it died from unnatural causes, and if it was a protected species there would be an investigation, they could find what it last ate, and it would lead back to blasty. | ||
