If they don’t raise it, they can’t allow it to break apart and contaminate the lake.
Don’t you get it? That’s what this idiot is praying will happen.
Actually, no, I didn’t get that. (I presume you are talking about a poster?)
If so, I didn’t see it that way, I saw it more as cynical irony. It kind of reminded me of the apocryphal story about the seal caught in the oil spill up in Alaska, where they cleaned it up and rehabbed it, then after months of everyone bonding with the creature, naming it and everything, they release it in front of the new cameras, and it is immediately eaten by an orca.
