Reuters ^ | 7 Aug 2014 | Lunae Parracho

Illegal loggers have long invaded areas of the Amazon rainforest. Tired of what they say is a lack of sufficient government assistance, the Ka’apor Indians feel it is time to take matters into their own hands.

The tribe sent out their best warriors to hunt down loggers and drive them off their land.

The Ka'apor Indians are the legal inhabitants and caretakers of the territory along with four other tribes.

And here I was, thinking that amazon.com was trying to keep users from recording IP addresses. I think I’ve been in IT for too long.

GOOD! But those guys got off easy. I wonder why the natives didn’t use ‘special’ arrows

Sad, but I am sure the loggers will return with more guys.

First it was the Washington Redskins and now it’s the Amazon Warriors. Great. Something else for Dingy Harry to whine about.

Kill them all (or move them to reservations) and turn the rain forests into patio furniture. Then farm the cleared land. I have to imagine Brazil needs food more than it needs shade.

Where on earth are the GREENIE idiots when they are needed?

Why don’t THEY step up to the plate and DO something constructive here-instead of beating the Global Warming dead horse?

Plus, no money to be made off it.

They have been worried about the rain forest since I can remember. Haven’t they logged it all out by now?

Doo-doo-doo, da-da-do-do-wow!
There's a place called the rainforest that truly sucks ass
Let's knock it all down and get rid of it fast
You say 'save the rainforest', but what do you know?
You've never been to the rainforest before!
Getting Gay with Kids is here
To tell you things you might not like to hear
You only fight these causes 'cos caring sells
All you activists can go .... yourselves.

Someday if we work hard boys and girls..
There'll be no more rainforests left in the entire world..
Getting Gay with Kids is here
To spread the word, and bring you cheer
Getting Gay with Kids is here
Lets knock down the rainforest, whaddaya say?
It's totally gay, It's totally gay!
