Trout Patrol Incident Number: 2010/4962


Roving Trout Patrol were called to an incident in suburban Perth today, following complaints of a domestic unrest incident involving 2 asexual Rainbow Trout.

On arrival, Trout Patrol witnessed a vicious attack taking place, whereby the perpetrator was tailwhipping, fin nipping and wildly pursuing the victim, a hapless one-eyed trout.

Trout Patrol managed to separate the two factions and quell the incident.

Eyewitnesses stated that the perpetrator of the violence was infact the resident of the home that Trout Patrol were called to. They went on to say that the victim simply ‘dropped in’ in the hope of making it his home as well. Witnesses said that on the victims arrival, the perpetrator unleashed a barrage of verbal and physical abuse towards the victim. One witness was reported to have said that the issue was borne from territorial rights, and further taunts by the perpetrator towards the victim, calling him a ‘Mutant’ and ‘one-eyed pirate’ as a reference to the victim’s congenital birth defects after being reared at Golden Ponds from broodstock that were his siblings.

The victim did not wish to press charges, however out of welfare concerns for the victim, Trout Patrol relocated the victim to a nearby refuge hostel – the main tank.

CCTV images capturing the event were seized by Trout Patrol and are attached hereto.

/ends report

(Domestic Violence is actually a very serious matter that affects many homes and lives, and I do not take this matter lightly. I have produced this thread in jest and in the hope that it entertains and certainly does not cause offence to anyone nor their sensibilities! BTx)

May be he took his job...?

With reporting like that you could work for the ses
In central victoria 3 ses personal stood back and shone torches to light the area so a couple of 70 year old farmers and a young boy shovelled dirt to plug a hole in a levie bank

... And the SES crew probably barked orders at them too!

+1 for the write up BT

I can't believe that a bystander could just stand back, film the violence, post it on YouTube, and not interviene. What is our society coming to?

it gets pretty rough out here erik
nice write up, did the one eyed trout survive to the dinner plate?

so the victim was blindsided then???

or just didnt see it comming...



sorry just finished a looooooong set of nightshifts...

... I guess the victim just had 'blind'-faith in fellow trout.

Poor guy, I bet he's 'seen' the light now.
