Shouldn’t be legal to own that. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SomeoneSomewhere@lemmy.nz 7 points 7 months ago* (1 child) Doesn't sound like they own it. Sounds like the river burst/overtopped its banks somewhere and they complained that it was flowing out of the river/wetlands onto their land. Not clear the farmer expected this rather than either fixing the breach and/or reduced but not zero flow. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] sleepmode@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago Fair enough but yeah, fix the breach… don’t just destroy an ecosystem and kill hundreds of animals. Seems like a lazy and shortsighted decision to just completely turn it off. permalink fedilink source parent
