It's absolutely outrageous! To wipe out a keystone species that supported and entire ecosystem, causing death and devastation to much of the local wildlife, negatively impacting the cultural experiences of local community residents, and likely harming local property values, simply because a group of snowmobilers wanted to protect their precious bridge. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I would be incensed if I were a community member.

There were so many mitigating actions they could have taken to address their concerns, such as clearing the previously existing drain, putting in a new drain, raising the bridge, or some other solution to address their concerns. It's called "maintaining" for a reason. Instead, they went DEFCON 5 and destroyed and killed everything. It's completely asinine. That would be like going to the dentist for a minor surface cavity and asking them to remove all of your teeth so that you never have a cavity again. It's preposterous!
