Iowa fertilizer spill kills nearly all fish across 60-mile stretch of rivers

Ammonia is harmful to fish in the parts-per-billion range,<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;edis.ifas.ufl.edu&#x2F;publication&#x2F;FA031" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;edis.ifas.ufl.edu&#x2F;publication&#x2F;FA031</a>

We need mandatory prison terms for large scale environmental damage. And heavy fines for smaller scale damage, enough to bankrupt.

This happens in these states every so often. Fertilizer or pig shit or whatever wipes a river clean of all life.

Oh look we&#x27;re in the news again!<p>I wonder if it&#x27;s something good this time!<p>It&#x27;s never something good.

Iowa has some of the most polluted rivers because they completely kowtow to farmers who, apparently, don&#x27;t care that they are completely ruining the environment or their own state&#x27;s drinking water.<p>It isn&#x27;t new, but this is also worse than usual.

So sad :(

Throw their asses in prison, move on. Not sure what the big deal is, we live in a country where the rich are punished appropriately for their preventable and highly regulated behavior, right?
