    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.

    Surprised the sheep aren't mentioned more; presumably someone (different landowner?) owns them and is upset at losing 59.

    Screw that whales! I just purchased this ocean and as a billionaire, almost trillionaire, I get to do whatever I want. Also, I own Cuba, Mexico and Canada. Get out out! I can't be held responsible when I use up all the water to answer important questions about how to save the world.

    Horrific. Someone needs to be help responsible for this.
