Cattle industry continues to threaten rainforest - 09 May 08

Brazil's president Lula De Silva has announced a development plan meant to protect vital rainforests in the Amazon region, while allowing farmers and ranchers to make a living.

Last year Brazil's government warned the rainforests were being cut down at a greater rate than ever before, mainly to develop the land as pasture for cattle.

Gabriel Elizondo reports.

@IttyBittyEmmy lol i don't generally care what my sentence looks like, i just find it funny when someone criticizes it when their sentence is just as bad if not worse XD

@rootbeer9000 Seriously? Why don't you just drop it already? You're trying to say you are mature but calling someone a faggot proves that you are close-minded as well as lacking the maturity you are so proud of. I would also like to point out there is nothing wrong with being a musician. I can almost guarantee you aren't as pleased with your occupation. Oh, if you are going to be a grammar wizard, try not to use a run-on sentence. There is such a thing as too many commas.

@create42000 musician oh god i don't know whether to laugh at you or pity you

@create42000 I called you gay, it worked, mainly because you said you get off on guys, I tried to piss you off, it worked, you gettting so offended about being gay proves that. You have done nothing.
