When the defective equipment sold throughout the country was shown to have degraded the groundwater of a large park, there was no option but to deforest the area, burn the land and decree it off limits. That was the best defence that would help the company deflect the intense criticism that was coming. It was, in fact, the only defensive position available. Defects in the company's equipment was becoming common and their opponents were becoming deft at providing definitive deductive evidence that the company should be shut down. The degradation they were causing was simply too great and the favor of the public was fading. At first, the company wanted to defy public opinion, however, and continued to operate. They renewed an advertisement campaign to show the public their dedication to fixing their deficiencies.
