What upsets me the most is the roadless forest initiative, the fire fighters can't get in there to save the trees. The enviornmentals would rather the trees burn than have them thinned. Nobody talks about the thousands of animals that have died in these fires, and I bet some of them are the spotted owl!!
I believe around 25 nesting pairs of spotted owls were either killed or displaced in southern Oregon by the Biscuit Fire of 2002. It also burned the entire Kalomiopsis Wilderness area. People who believe that this is somehow good for the animals are totally clueless IMHO.
