800-year-old Tree at Vancouver Island Park falls to Illegal Loggers

That tree is fucked, but they're serious poachers so they'll no doubt be doing more illegal logging somewhere else. The damage won't truly be done until they're caught, but whatever, they're just trees, they've been falling en masse since us white folks first set foot on this land with that outlook.

How do you know these poachers weren't black or Native American?

I'm pretty sure Indians and blacks weren't clear cutting the redwoods since the 1800s. I'm talking about how whites came west and fucked shit up.

He's just trying to find something wrong with your statement and doesn't actually have anything good to say.

Damn those Asian loggers!

[QUOTE=sami-pso;36019206]No we don't. We don't need 800 year old wood when we have wood from managed sources.[/QUOTE]

so we should chop down the young trees so we get no new old trees?

The money. After 9/11, everything changed drastically in price.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;36018218]Okay, I can see this is a pretty bad thing, but it's hardly an atrocity to say humanity as a whole is fucked up.[/QUOTE]

You don't watch the news do you? Or even step outside for that matter. Even without loggers chopping down an ancient tree, people in general are fucked up.

Here in BC we actually care about our parks and ecosystem. You Europeans don't care because you already cut everything down.
