On Thursday, October 23, 2003, Cattermole loggers took it upon themselves to
lay the fists to the face, steel-toed boots to the body, and a bundle of
spikes to the head of two passive conservationists in the area of Elk Creek.
Unfortunately, this is not a surprise. Unfortunately, bashing innocent
people is an acceptable practice in the big corporate picture.
Cattermole is actively logging in the Chilliwack rainforest; they are
logging the diverse and vital area known as Elk Creek It seems that there is
nothing that can stop them. They are rapidly clearing the home of some of
the last remaining old growth and spotted owl habitat on the entire planet.
Even the existence of the rare barking salamander (an endangered species
known only in this area) is not enough to save this forest. What is this
about people, really? When do we say, enough is enough? When do we take back
the planet that we all share? It is obvious that the "legal" system is just
there to protect the corporate interests. We need to ask ourselves, "When
will justice be served?". Then when we realize it will only be served when
we dish it out, will things start to change.
The legal system has shown, emphatically, to have ZERO interest in the
preservation or conservation of sensitive, vital habitat. "Justice" has
shown to have ZERO interest in the rights of innocent people. Justice locks
up 75 year old woman for refusing to stay out of the forest, and lets a mad
rapist go free the very next week.
Call Cattermole at:
Vancouver 604 685 7200
Chilliwack 604 823 6525
There is a base camp building in the area. Supplies are needed. People are
needed. Please follow the link to Elk Creek Action: Get Involved to find out
how to help with this.
Take action against the government who has decided to liquidate BC and give
it away to the rest of the world, for free. There is no one else but YOU who
can stop this. Make a fuss. Call your MP, your MLA. Call Cattermole. Get out
to Elk Creek. Unite.
