If you're going to kill Carp, utilize them completely.

skills not good enough to eat them?

I've never cooked them,, but have tried them cooked by people who claim
they cook them the best,, and they are still awful
Find someone who can utilize them
(any Asians in your community?)

No one wants them

The reason Carp flourish in the reservoirs is humans who dammed the
reservoirs.

Well everyone claims global warming,, dams produce energy with ZERO
pollution

If you want to see the true villain species, just look in the mirror.

It's good to have no limits on non-native Eurasian minnows (Carp, Grass
Carp, Bighead Carp, Silver Carp, Black Carp, and any similar species I
may have forgotten in this list), but in the very least, use them as
fertilizer.

We do ,, lake fertilizer

With all the poverty and the bad US economy, there are bound to be
people who would gladly eat Carp rather than starve.

What planet do you live on ?? the US economy is the best in the world
and the best it has ever been, find me one story, anywhere, where
someone starved to death in the US, in the last 12 months. It would be
in every news paper in the US.

Scoring, pickling, adding lots of spice.

I once caught a large Carp and took it to an Asian family. The husband
and I cleaned the Carp, the wife cooked it and showed me some pointers
on preparation, and it didn't taste bad.

The main problem I have with consuming Carp around where I live is the
Carp might have industrial pollutants from eating the gunk on the
bottom of polluted rivers. Once again, homo sapiens is to blame for my
not harvesting more Carp.

Bighead Carp seem to be the biggest danger to the environment where I
live, so I try not to release any I catch. Unlike Carp, who tend to
eat abundant stuff many native fish wouldn't consume in the first
place, Bighead Carp eat the plankton that are needed by baby fish and
by Paddlefish, thus Bighead Carp (and their close relative the Silver
Carp) destroy the entire food chain.

So do the common carp, they replace over 80% of all the native fish in a
body of water
