Feds Want to Give Timber Company a License to Kill Endangered Species- Send a Letter Now
Were you or I to cut down a Northern Spotted Owl nest tree or poison an endangered Klamath River Coho Salmon, we would be held accountable for violating the Endangered Species Act. But some timber companies and their enablers think they are above the law.
Currently the Fruit Growers Supply timber company, based in the
small Northern California town of Hilt, is proposing to "take" (i.e.
kill) endangered Spotted Owl and Coho salmon with the blessing of the
very federal agencies in charge of enforcing the Endangered Species Act.
Through its proposed "Habitat Conservation Plan" Fruit Growers
Supply timber company would be issued so-called "incidental take
permits" allowing the company to kill endangered species in the course
of its logging activities.
