Hundreds Of Trees Spiked In Gifford Pinchot National Forest
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RANDLE, WA - An anonymous group of individuals have claimed responsibility
for placing spikes in hundreds of trees in Units 5, 6, and 7 of the Upper
Greenhorn Timber Sale in the Cowlitz Valley Ranger District located in the Gifford
Pinchot National Forest.
A communique sent by these individuals appeared as follows,
BEGIN COMMUNIQUE:
"We are claiming responsibility for spiking 60-penny nails high and low into
hundreds of trees in Units 5, 6, and 7 of the Upper Greenhorn Timber Sale in
the Cowlitz Valley Ranger District in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
This timber sale contains 99 acres of old growth and is home to at least 3
pairs of spotted owls, grizzly bear, lynx, wolf, goshawk, just to name a few of its
many inhabitants. This is truly a beautiful area, unfortunately one of the
last of its kind because of the system we all live under. We want to be clear
that all oppression is linked, just as we are all linked, and we believe in a
diversity of tactics to stop earth rape and end all domination. Together we can
destroy this patriarchal nightmare, which is currently in the form of
techno-industrial global capitalism. We desire an existence in harmony with the wild based on
equality, love, and respect. We stand in solidarity with all resistance to
this system, especially those who are in prison, disappeared, raped,
tortured....we are all survivors and will not stop!!!
The forest service was notified of this action BEFORE this year's logging
season so we could take all precautions to assure worker safety. We must ask
why they never made this public. We were trying to let them cancel this sale
quietly. However, as bosses jeopardize worker's lives every day we
realized we needed to make this public. Also, as repression against us increases,
such as the recent laws in Oregon, we promise to be even stronger and encourage
others to join us.
We are everywhere and nowhere. We are your parents and your children. We
are alive!!!
Please do not label us...We are anonymous."
END COMMUNIQUE
