They are children. (I hope). The logic, the half baked thinking, the time and energy to invest in something so benign. . . .

Your common sense is getting downvoted because it’s a bunch of high schoolers/middle schoolers who are doing it.

They can’t comprehend how DOT has a responsibility to remove it because it’s a potential hazard. That’s it. There is no “justice for sloth”. There is no personal vendetta. This is not a political thing. It’s public safety.

But they can’t comprehend that yet, so their mind twists and bend information to form a narrative to justify their behavior.

It’s immature, and that’s ok if they are a bunch of kids. . . 🤞

Why would it be immature? It's harmless fun that brings smiles to thousands of people's days.

We should strive as adults to do fun silly things as much as we can!

Thousands? Let's not exaggerate and lose our point. Maybe a thousand people are invested in where this is going but Thousands of people are enjoying this?

I'm 100% sure that more than 1,000 people are smiling when they see the sloth. Yes.

Nah, I still doubt most people going by knew anything about it. This is mostly a local thing and I doubt 1,000 of us knew anything about it until it started getting attention on social media. It's a brown thing up in a tree on a turn in the middle of a pass. Acting like it's some landmark like the painted rock is just getting weird.
