A woman from Vancouver Island , who was a tree hugger and an anti-hunter,

purchased a piece of timberland. 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 that 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 waited

three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry woman demanded, "What

took you so long?"



He smiled and than 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.
