Liuzhou's municipal authorities in Guangxi on Wednesday placed a heavy bounty on piranhas recovered from its waters, and would offer 1,000 yuan for every piranha caught, China News Service reported.

The move followed a piranha attack last weekend in which a man surnamed Zhang suffered injuries to the palms of his hands while giving his dog a bath in the Liujiang River.

Following the incident, local citizens interested in catching or seeing the banned foreign carnivorous species, placed bait in the river.

據(jù)中新社報(bào)道，周三，廣西柳州市官方懸賞釣剿所轄水域中的食人魚，每條獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)1000元。

此舉的緣由是上周末市民張先生在柳江河邊給小狗洗澡時(shí)，遭到食人魚攻擊，手掌被咬傷。

事件發(fā)生后，有興趣的市民便在江中投放誘餌，希望捕獲或見識(shí)這種被禁止進(jìn)口的外來食肉物種。
