I thought the enviro’s wanted to “cull” the Barred Owl because they decided that was causing the Spotted Owls to decline. Once the enviro’s embark on a killing spree there is no telling where the consensus will lead them.

The globalist are firing up bag alternatives replacing plastic bags. Paper bags from logs? Salmonella laced inorganic reusable bags?

Loggings been dead for years now. So, why hasn’t this bird multiplied by the thousands? Well, another bird likes to eat the thing. Talk of killing the other bird, to save the Spotted owl? That figures. Lots of middle class families went broke when logging ended. Then fires burned the trashy forest this summer. Now there are no jobs, and no forest. No homes for the owl, either. Who thinks this crap up, anyway?

The lumber companies need to re-brand themselves. They need to play up their role as bio-mass harvesters for renewable fuels. Think about it, while lumberjacks in Oregon have been out of work for 30 years to protect the spotted owl (which is in decline due to an invasive species), forest wetlands in North Carolina are being harvested to make wood pellets to fire power plants in the UK to meet a renewable fuel standard. Lumber bad, firewood good.

I worked for the forest service marking pine forests where the pine beetle has devastated huge swaths of the western mountains. I have also worked on fire crews battling fires in these forests. The notion that a logging truck is a greater threat to these owls compared to a wild fire is insane and a joke. Only someone who smokes a ton of weed a day could believe such clap trap. A well MANAGED forest, such as the one just above Humboldt state u in Arcata ( it is just up at the end of the block, directly above the school), is far more healthy than the ‘virgin’ stands at Redwoods national park. Over population and ‘leaning’ trees are thinned and the result is almost ‘cathedral’ like in those managed forests. Deidre park near Evergreen Colorado is a heavily thinned and managed Ponderosa pine forest and the results are stunning. The trees and the land are so healthy looking and the scenes are almost church like. When you lower the basel area of a forest( depending of the species), in not so many years you can actually increase the board feet per acre.
The forest service has been fighting these insanely uneducated environmentalists for decades to properly manage our forests. I am a certified right wing tree hugger and those earth first nuts are just terrorists.
