Save the Owls, preserve the forests

        In agreement with Kim Stafford, who opposes the clear-cutting of old growth forests, I feel that it is necessary to preserve the profitable lumber in its natural state for future generations.

We must …

…there must be public support for the idea. With that, the government would most likely be willing to provide educational services for the loggers who need to get new jobs. Sooner of later, this sacrifice of loggers will occur, and the latest will be in ten years. The spotted owl represents a major part of our natural resources. At this rate, that major part will disappear along with the spotted owl in a mere decade.
