Greenies good or bad

[PinHead]

"Greenie - comes from the word green which comes from ecology - concerns about goats getting a bullet, stressed chooks or the commercial Kangaroo harvest are not ecological concerns but about animal rights - these are not greenies."

Ecology - n. branch of biology dealing with living organisms' habitats and modes of life.

I would assume that an animal is a living organism therefore their habitats ands them would be included in ecology.

My definition of a greenie...anyone that complains about land clearing for the purposes of building, for the purposes of farming and mining or any other enterprise on privately owned land. Anyone that whines about cruelty to animals when the owners are conducting a business withion the current regualtions etc.

If people want to stop privately owned land from being cleared..easy..buy it.

As for Bullshit hearsay..most of the drivel emanating from so called scientists is BS anyway..the puppeteers who pay their grants pull their strings and the findings are always what the puppet masters want. Very rarely does this vary...I will never be convinced that a researcher working for a company will ever arrive at findings, and publish same, that adversely affect the company.

As for goats on Townsend and like many other islands, they were an introduced species and in some cases deliberately introduced as an aid to shipwrecks. Just that these days there are not that many shipwrecks but there's still a few guys kicking around today who survived (actually on Townsend) due to the goats.

As for damaging the environment of Townsend if anybody has ever been up on the ridge line, where the targets are one will also see what 1000 lb'rs do on impact. There's more shapnel on that island than rocks

Cheers, Kerry.

The only true wilderness is between a greenies ears.

I am keeping this short to save on paper which will save a tree which will feed a family of goats for a very long time.

hmm [smiley=confused.gif] Jim & Pin seem to be debating 2 different groups of people [smiley=book2.gif] Pin seems to be talking about the highly vocal, media chased group.???? [smiley=end.gif]
Yet Jim seems to be talking about people who want to quietly do on ground works in their own area to try and improve things ?? [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
??? aren't those people usually farmers and local community
poeple who would be [smiley=veryangry.gif] if called greenies??? Yet do conservation by doing things as they see what is needed ? usually with no tv crew or journalist in sight.
had to laugh at some comments by others quite true

Yep Charexblue.....wish i called my kid that ,I agree.

And by the 'poll'....
Greenies are BAD wins

27 say bad ,+ 30% of the not sure dudes ,is another 9 BADS ,and the 7+ who reckon GOOD are obviously and should have the letters d'hd ,after their name ,and are not counted!!

So the concussus is BAD ,by a majority , statistically speaking.
