I feel the chainsaws cutting through my flesh, too.

HQ at Fairy Creek is under siege ... verging on or maybe has fallen! The RCMP have attacked the Forest Defenders and their camps and the old growth forests in the name of Teal-Jones with even more of a cruel vengeance since the one year anniversary of the blockades. Cops are being dropped in from helicopters. RCMP ATV squads in military gear. Dozens of gas-spewing RCMP trucks raged through HQ today. All that's missing are the semi-automatic rifles.
For those of you who think the 2 year deferral is for all of the old-growth logging in the province (which is what the mainstream media tells us by not telling us the whole story), here are the facts: only 884 of the 2061 hectares of old growth at Fairy Creek are temporarily protected and that also doesn't include an adjacent 1117 hectares that remains at risk and contains all of the logging approvals. And this is only about Fairy Creek and the Walbran Valley. Not about all of the province.
Teal-Jones has been logging even more voraciously and the RCMP have been increasingly aggressive since the 2-year deferral in June because the political spin of the 'stopping all logging... of old-growth' lie has given them unspoken permission to do so.
The corporation, their lap dog never-to-be-voted-for-again NDP hypocrites and the RCMP colonial mercenaries are literally raping the land, the animals who live there and all of the people who feel the chainsaws cut through their flesh as the giants fall. These photos are of a forest that will soon be exterminated; this is one of the many forests that are NOT protected by the 'stopping all logging of old-growth' lie. This is one of the reasons why the province is burning. You know this but Look. Please check out the links and help in some way. It's for everyone and everything.

Here's how you can get there and more information! Or helping in some way. There are lists of things you can do. And, if you've been thinking of going, this is when you are most needed. Don't let more of this die (and we along with it as the other forests burn). https://linktr.ee/TheRainforestFlyingSquad
