An Open Letter to the Sierra Club By Tina Terry, Ranch Hand and Potential Fire Victim
Published 06. 25. 02 at 2:12 Sierra Time
Dear Sierra Club,
I have an urgent environmental concern, and your web site gave this address
as the place to which to express it.
In the Arizona Republic this morning, Arizona Senator Jon Kyl is quoted as
saying that the Forest Service spends 40% of its budget on litigation with
"environmentalists" such as the Sierra Club, etc., who have pressured
Congress not to spend money on controlled burns and other forest-clearing
methods. Other western governors have echoed these sentiments.
Bottom line: Thanks to you and your fellow destructive eco-Nazis and the
catastrophic forest-management policies for which your litigious
strong-arming has been responsible, soon there won't be much of a forest to
preserve here in Arizona any more. The fire has already consumed over
500,000 acres of the largest stand of Ponderosa pine trees in the world, and
is zero percent contained. Soon where there was a beautiful forest, with
elk, deer, bear, cougars, javelina and much other wildlife living there,
there will be nothing but a desolate, lifeless, blackened wasteland, with
soil cooked to a glaze by the fire, so that water will have a hard time
penetrating, and we shall expect serious erosion and floods.
I want to know what you're doing or planning to do for the millions of wild
animals that have been killed or displaced by your despicable, murderous,
ANTI-ENVIRONMENT policies. I'm pretty sure you don't care about all the
human beings who have lost their homes and livelihoods - I suspect you're
overjoyed that so many humans are suffering and homeless, but I do find
myself wondering: What are your plans for the hundreds of thousands of
blackened wasteland where forests used to stand? And what about all those
animals about whom you have so loudly professed to care so deeply - poor,
innocent critters who are now terrified, dead or displaced because of you
and your policies?
I want you to know that I second this excellent proposal and that if I were
you, I'd stay the hell out of this part of the country for a while - there's
a major lynch-mob mentality around these parts whenever your name comes up.
Tina Terry - Payson Arizona (which may go up in flames at any moment due to
the ill-health of our forests, thanks to you and your evil lawsuits and
environmentally destructive agenda.)
