Cable Loggers Aren't Cool

6:08:07
Two of Tasmania's Forest Defenders were held in remand after logging in a giant Weld Valley clearfell was halted for a day. The activists were arrested after being suspended 30 metres atop two cable loggers that are carrying out logging in a very large steep area of forest.
The protest was held to highlight the negative impacts of the pulp mill on Tasmania's southern forests. If this mill is allowed to continue, brutal logging scars will spoil Tasmania's landscape, contribute to climate change, habitat loss and damage to water catchments.

I work on the riggin for an outfit here in oregon and i love it! whats wrong with cable loggers?

[loghry01]

if you stop me at my gate you better be ready to meet my .45 i have been logging since i was a little kid we have cut many acres of forest and guess what we replanted and its all grown back now.... isnt that a trip you hippie morons. once a tree hits a point in its life it starts putting off harmful gases thats when you cut them down and replant so the new young trees can produce great amounts of oxygen. you cant protest that its a fact!

hippies can fuck off, trees die, might aswell get some use out of them. old crop trees dont last forever. cable logging is has the lowest impact on the environment compared to any other form of harvesting. Even skidding with animals has more impact per tonne harvested. Fuck off and stop harassing hard working contractors that earn an honest living you pot smoking pieces of gypsy shit

Yup,,,,stupid tree huggers, trying to stop logging, but go home to a house made of wood, wipe their ass with paper toilet paper, spend money made with paper, etc.etc. Heres a good idea for you bleeding heart planet savers : Find a remote cave somewhere preferably in thick wolf territory, live in it surviving only off the land,,,,,,and don't come back.
