Kim Jong-un executes general by throwing him in piranha-filled fish tank
2019-06-09
[Daily Star - hold the salt] Kim Jong-un has become a real-life Bond villain after executing one of his generals by throwing him into a piranha-filled fish tank. North Korea's tyrant ordered his death after he was accused of planning a coup.

Kim had a giant fish tank built inside Ryongsong Residence, one of his presidential palaces, after ordering aides to develop new methods of execution.

The victim's arms and torso were cut open with knives before he was thrown into the tank.
"Hans Brix"
Sources said it was unclear whether the general was killed by the fish, died from his wounds or drowned.

The researchers are believed to have come up with several execution methods designed to scare potential plotters.

It is believed they got the idea from the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, in which the villain Karl Stromberg executes opponents by dropping them into a shark-filled aquarium.
"Mwahahahaha!"
Kim's aquarium is filled with several hundred piranhas imported from Brazil. They have razor-sharp teeth and are capable of stripping flesh from a corpse in a matter of minutes

Other execution methods have included blasting traitors to pieces with an anti-tank gun, feeding them alive to tigers, beheadings, hangings and burning prisoners to death with flame throwers.

#3  You need at least 25-30 gallons of water per fish. Piranha only of a certain variety are extremely carnivorous, and when agitated may bite something to death even when not hungry. Importantly, a school of piranha has to be maintained carefully, monitoring their aggressiveness toward each other 24/7, because the moment one fish rubs another the wrong way, it all turns to a destruction derby of fins and teeth. Only an idiot would put so many of the same variety in a single tank.

This approach is stupid and pointlessly sadistic, not to mention criminally expensive and wasteful. The best way to dispose of anti-nationals is a complete medical, harvest of blood, organs, bones and incineration of waste. The method of execution is not what deters men, it is the certainty of it.
