A woman from Los Angeles, who was a tree hugger and an anti-hunter,
purchased a piece of timberland, near Grants Pass ,Or. There was a
large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted a
good view of the natural splendor of her land so she started to climb
the big tree. As she neared the top she encountered a spotted owl which
attacked her.
In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to
the ground and got many splinters in her crotch. In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest doctor.? She told him
she was an environmentalist and an anti-hunter and how she came to get
all the splinters.? The doctor listened to her story with great
patience and then told her to go into the examining room and he would
see if he could help her.
She sat and waited three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry
woman demanded, "What took you so long?" He smiled and then told her,
"Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency,
the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before I could
remove old-growth timber from a recreational area.
I'm sorry, but they turned me down."
