{
"section": "Wildlife Along the Way",
"action": "REMOVE",
"problematic_text": "Red foxes are present in the area, though they tend to stay out of sight — muddy sections of trail are often where you'll find their tracks rather than the animals themselves.",
"reason": "Cannot be verified by web sources. Per NPS guidance, user-generated content and apps can present misleading information. This specific wildlife claim about red foxes on Glooscap Trail lacks verifiable sources."
