"The weird thing is that there is another guy in a tree not far from there, and California thinks this is nothing unusual. It's on private property. A trespasser is living in a tree on private property."

I know for a fact that if that was my property, and I had a logging permit in hand, that other tree would be where my chainsaw and I would be headed first thing in the morning. (Along with my M-14.) And if I couldn't find that particular tree, I'd just start dropping ALL OF THEM until these EarthFirst @ssholes decided to do something. Then the M-14 gets used. Witnesses? I don't think so.

If you had a Timber Harvest Permit (logging permit) in hand in California you would need a Licensed Timber Operator to cut them or face a $25,000 fine. The LTO wouldn't risk his chainsaw on that tree. The sitters have spotters and cell-phones to call for help. Some have video. The local judges won't give property owners permission to bring them down and the Sheriff's Department won't do it either.

You were saying?

There was a treehugger on NY State land...chained himself to a tree. Hubby asked him to unchain himself, because the State Forestry Dept wanted that tree cut. The guy pretended to swallow the key. Hubby went around the back side of the tree and proceded to begin notching it. The speed at which the nut regurgitated that key was INCREDIBLE.

Treehuggers ARE dangerous, and not just from tresspassing. They do really deadly things like pulling their pregnant roller skates in front of fully loaded log trucks heading down steep hills, then slowing way down!!!

They bungee jump off over passes and try to kick the windshields of log trucks. They burn houses which they say are encroaching on nature.

They're dangerous...they're terrorists.
