[QUOTE="klein, post: 738521, member: 23950"] I can't really say I'm a "tree hugger" because I do believe in forestry and chopping down trees. By law, they need to replant more trees then they "harvest". And, older dying trees cause most of the forest fires. Yes, it takes time to re-grow trees, but isn't every garden you plant like that ? You need to wait until next year to get potatoes again ? With trees it just takes a bit longer. Besides, they (older trees) are a fire hazard , that we spend billions on to fight. But when it comes to animals, wildlife, etc.. Esspecially that pic that Moreluck posted..(the pelican, that was just 2 years ago on the list of endangered animals), that hurts. Animals shouldn't be paying for our human mistakes. Be it taken thier food sources away, or in this case, poisening them ! It;s awlful, and yet, thousands of pics and videos will follow from all these dead species. Last I heard was 220 dolphines showed up dead on coastel areas, but that was last week ! Even more turtles. Canada is effected as well, with many birds not making their trip home. I'm with you there.... if I could help (get housing and food, and yes, enough to pay my regular bills while away), I would be there, too ! [/QUOTE]
