Yes, they'd do such a hare brained thing.
In their eyes, stocked fish aren't 'natural'.
So by killing fish in stock tanks, they're 'cleansing the fish gene pool of human interference' in their small minds.
Just like in their minds, burning a building and construction vehicles makes sense despite the fire putting out far more pollution than either the house or the vehicles would in their entire service lives.
That basically is their way of 'thinking'.
It is possible that idiot kids thought it'd be a great 'joke.'
I've seen some stupid kids lately.
Week and a half ago, some pretty stupid kids burned down a building near me.
They were playing 'flamethrower' with fix a flat and grenaded the can.
Which lit the building, and destroyed all the classic vehicles stored inside.
*groan*
So there you have it, two possibilities to ponder.
Stupid kids, or delusional envirowackies.
That location is pretty isolated and remote for it to have been the former.
"In their eyes, stocked fish aren't 'natural'.

Stocked fish aren't natural, but if an "enviornmental whacko" did anything, he'd bust the dams (representing human interference), not kill off the fish. Just because you disagree with eco politics doesn't mean people who care about the enviornment are criminals.
"Just like in their minds, burning a building and construction vehicles makes sense despite the fire putting out far more pollution than either the house or the vehicles would in their entire service lives."
Who is "they?" Anyone who works on behalf of the enviornment? Why clump in millions of well-meaning conservationists with a few mentally ill folks who take up the extremist banner? Isn't it easy to demonize the many based on the actions of a few? Are all pro-life people abortion doctor killers because of a few deranged folks?
If not, you'll have to consider that most conservationists are law-abiding, well meaning folks who selflessly give of their time to help God's creation.
