no large fish, like trout, were killed but dozens of minnows and tadpoles were affected.

HOLY COW BATMAN! DOZENS OF MINNOWS AND SOME TADPOLES ! ! !

Interestingly, the author chose not to say "Leak at drilling site causes minnow and tadpole kill in Dimock Twp."

That, of course, would sound just as stupid as it actually is.

From what I understand, people are moreso PO’ed about the contamination of their drinking water (a good percentage of that rural area use well water) and the sulfur smell.

I had to REALLY dig to find this paragraph. DOZENS of minnows? The words "fish kill" conjures up images of hundred or thousands of dead fish floating on the surface of all shapes, sizes and varieties. Amazing how language can be used to deceive.
