The Forest Service statement about this being an act of Eco-Terror comes from the video, not from the printed KATU-TV story.

I suppose, then, that these are acts perpetrated by some militant eco-group. Do they hope to scare people away from floating down the river? Does floating down a river in a rubber boat cause ecological damage of some sort?

Hopefully, whoever is perpetrating these acts will be caught soon and made an example of before 'copycat' spikings are done elsewhere. Any river that's used by the recreational public is now at risk.

I think they are [yaa-aah!] fighting for fish rights. The Fish Fighters. Something's 'fishy' at any rate.

These lunatic eco-terrorists need to be shot on site when caught doing idiotic acts of terrorism like this.

At the very least, life in prison with NO chance of parole. This is terrorism, no different than the terrorism done by Muhammadans. The Feds need to shut down these groups like Peta, label them terrorist organizations, seize their assets and make it illegal to raize money or be associated with them.

" Does floating down a river in a rubber boat cause ecological damage of some sort?"...

I'm beginning to think these eco-heros are just against people having a good time in "their" wilderness settings.

It's kind of like the bumper sticker I saw a couple of years ago on a Florida car.
It said..."Leaving Florida?...take someone with you"..

Selfish, mentally inbred people live everywhere I guess.

I guess we're supposed to protect nature, but we're not actually allowed to go out and see nature. We just have to keep nature off to the side, and feel good knowing that it is there and our environmental betters are out there battling to take care of it for us...

This is very self-defeating behavior on the part of the enviro-weenies. The people on the river are probably, as a group, much more likely to support preservation of the environment. If folks get scared away from the outback, they are not going to care a whole lot if the outback gets strip-mined. When I see a tree, I am filled with the delight of nature. If I never see a tree, all I care about is the price of 2x4s down at Home Depot.

Do they hope to scare people away from floating down the river?

The only people the eco-terrorists want on the river – or in the woods, or on the tundra or ____ are other eco-terrorists.

Capture and trial of the perps will cause an explosion of such incidents. Proliferation is inevitible and will proceed faster after someone is killed or seriously injured.

This is the beginning of the fight against fishing. The envonuts are going to try to stop fishing next. They feel they have done a great job stopping hunting. Less and less people hunt every year and they want to do the same thing for the fishies.

Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

This is going to be interesting to follow as the terrorist are turning against some of their own. While the fishing guides aren't as rabid as the white water rafters and kayakers about claiming the rivers as their private domain they all have a hate for any industry that may use the same territory and have supported each other.

Those nails look like they were set using a explosive powered nail gun and then the heads were cut off...

It isn't people who do this, it's hippies.

Could be giggling stoners, but its more likely college know-it-all hippies.

[Delphinium]

WOW!, I have never heard of this yet. Wonder how to find out more?
