Clambering amid the foliage a hundred feet above the ground, lumber company climbers on Monday snapped a harness around a defiant anti-logging protester, cut through the metal sleeve binding her to the redwood's trunk, and lowered her to the forest floor.

There were pictures in the print version that were not included in the web version.

My solution would have been to start cutting at the base.

PL decided to give the freaks a photo op and a platform.

Very stupid.

Trying to eliminate in a bucket is difficult at best, I can't imagine trying it in a tree.

Obviously, when you have people in trees, it makes it very difficult to operate

[farmfriend]

I like your idea about reading to them.

[arly]

it looks like they came up with a cure for a remedy!

I'm sure the houses occupied by the local residents did a lot to improve the area's ecology. The protesters probably all have wood burning fireplaces and drive SUV's. I remember back in 1970 being behind an oil burning smoking car on the road that had an ecology sticker on the back window.

Ironic aint it....that these morons are heading us towards communism (or at the very least massive socialism) and when the other shoe drops, government controls all the land and no longer needs to listen to us, people like her will be shot out of trees without fanfare nor delay, the land raped, and there will be no recourse. Silly little bird.
