LINESVILLE, Pa. -- Pennsylvania officials will not prohibit feeding bread to the carp at a park in the state's northwest corner.
More than 300,000 people visit Pymatuning State Park each year to see throngs of hungry carp so thick that ducks can walk on the fish.
Officials wanted only fish food pellets used, because they say other food harms the fish. Visitors have tossed chicken, watermelon, doughnuts and other foods to the carp.
