The source of these arguments is the "Klamath Dam Removal" article, (Part I) shown below these arguments.
Destroying the Klamath River dams created vast expanses of fissured mud, the color and consistency of chocolate cake batter.
Klamath River dam destruction stranded fish in the mud. “Dead fish are everywhere.” Wild animals, trying to drink from the lake became hopelessly stuck in the mud and had to be euthanized to stop their suffering.
The devastation and death resulting from removing the Klamath River dams are being ignored by the media and environmental groups.
After Klamath River dams were removed, the river is essentially dead, as is everything in it.
“Environmentalists and the State of California are celebrating the world’s largest dam removal on the Upper Klamath River, while their work kills endangered species, destroys roads, threatens homes with (lake) bank collapse and is already seeing drinking water wells go dry. They purposefully made a disaster and are leaving taxpayers and the locals to clean up their mess.” Representative Doug LaMalfa
Klamath River dam destruction caused massive salmon extinction.
“Shameless environmental groups cried that the removal of the dams is essential for fish health and would reverse salmon and steelhead population decline. Tell me, does this water look like a better habitat for the fish?” Representative Doug LaMalfa
California is removing 3 Klamath River dams “to restore habitat for endangered fish.”. The result: local residents and officials are saying, “it’s an environmental disaster; (we) are witnessing a massive salmon extinction event”; “toxic heavy metals (are) covering every bit of gravel needed for spawning”; “The river is essentially dead, as is everything in it.”
