The pipeline company has been handing out cheques to the local towns and counties to help cover the extra costs of the protestors on services.

Sure it is, but much like the DAPL protestors, someone else is left to clean up the mess.
Same thing here albeit in another form

You saw the pics of the raw sewage that the protestors were flinging sround, right?
... Real custodians of Gaia, aren't they?
I did. Not to mention simply abandoning the environmental hazard they called an encampment without lifting a single finger to help clean it.
What was the toll on the local game populations? How many deer per day gave their lives to feed them all?
My rhetorical question has more merit than I thought.
Deer poaching incident near pipeline protest camps could lead to animal cruelty charges
MORTON COUNTY, N.D. — Animal cruelty charges could be considered after a disturbing video surfaced of an apparent deer poaching incident that occurred last fall near the Dakota Access protest camps, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department said.
The agency released the video to the public in hopes of identifying men who pulled a deer to shore after it was struggling in the Cannonball River, stabbed the animal multiple times and suffocated it by shoving its nose in the mud.
The department received the video last week from a concerned citizen who saw it on Facebook, said Scott Winkelman, investigations supervisor.
“The manner that the animal was killed certainly is disturbing,” Winkelman said.
Investigators believe the incident occurred last October on the north side of the Cannonball River west of the Highway 1806 bridge, which is the same area where thousands of pipeline opponents have camped to protest the project.
The 7-minute video, which contains graphic images and language, shows a whitetail buck in the river before four men swam to pull it to shore. Winkelman said investigators don’t know what may have happened before the video started or what happened to the animal after it was killed.
A total of six or seven men are pictured in the video, some exchanging high-fives after the animal appears to be dead. total of six or seven men are pictured in the video, some exchanging high-fives after the animal appears to be dead.
The Game and Fish Department is asking people with information about the identities of the men to call the enforcement division at 701-328-6604, contact Winkelman at swinkelman@nd.gov or call the Report All Poachers hotline at 800-472-2121. Calls to the hotline are anonymous and can lead to rewards if the information leads to convictions.
Investigators think animal cruelty charges may be appropriate in this case, in addition to other violations such as hunting without a license, illegal method of take and failure to tag big game, Winkelman said. Ultimately the case would be turned over to the Morton County State’s Attorney’s Office for consideration of charges, he added.
The agency also has two other ongoing investigations of deer poaching connected to the protest camps, Winkelman said. Those investigations stem from photos of deer in the camps that did not have tags, he said.

I should have written it better
It's all good for the environmental demonstrators except for those damn dirty pipelines

Hey, the pipeline has had 5 spills already. If it were in millimeters they'd sound huge.
To regulators like Bill Suess, who deals with a crude oil spill nearly every day as North Dakota’s spill investigation program manager, it’s the nature of the game. “A tanker truck rolls over and spills 7,000 gallons of crude oil, and nobody pays attention. Twenty gallons spill on DAPL, it makes world news, so it’s kind of funny,” he told The Intercept.

Had these cowardly poachers been around in Dante's time, there definitely would have been a level in hell specifically for them
Hmmm, that reminds me of a movie, in fact a specific actor's line in a movie... Here's a hint
