Suing the city for 4 million? Really?

The city of Birmingham is being sued by the fishing and wildlife conservatory for 4 million dollars.
Now, I like animals and all, but this is ridiculous. In 2008, their was an accident on a lake that killed 2 million snails and about 20,000 fish (endangered). Because of this the conservatory's suing for 4 million. Why? I just don't understand. Those fish, that would probably be caught, killed and eaten, will not come back for 4 million. While we are suing over the death of fish, people are getting killed everyday, men, women and children are going hungry and again I say, "We are suing the city for 4 million dollars?". Makes absolutely no logical sense to me...
