Save Tasmania's Forests!
Target: John Gay, CEO, Gunns LimitedSponsored by: Rainforest Action Network
Australia's island state of Tasmania is home to unique ecosystems that
contain some of the Earth's most incredible plants and animals,
including the world's tallest hardwood trees and ancient old-growth
forests.
Tragically, these global treasures are being destroyed by the logging company GUNNS LIMITED. Gunns cuts down more than 40 football fields of pristine old-growth forests everyday, then firebombs the clear-cut land with napalm, and poisons the surviving wildlife with 1080, a toxin banned in many countries. Streams are polluted, 400 year old trees destroyed, habitats incinerated, and threatened species killed.
Please join us now in the fight to save Tasmania's incredible
forests:
TELL GUNNS LTD. TO STOP ITS DESTRUCTION OF TASMANIAN FORESTS AND WILDLIFE!

How can the people making these decisions look their friends, family, and loved ones in the eyes and justify what they do for a living. This is absolutely criminal.

The forests should be protected for our future generations so they will not know a gray world but a green and wonderous world full of trees and animals. Think of the children yet to be, your children.

You are helping to destroy a planet. You are violating God's will. Your actions will have consequences for your spirit. Listen to the quiet voice inside you that is crying for this madness to stop.

We hold the land in sacred trust for the humans and other species of the future. Such a flagrant misuse of power over land and all that live on it cannot be allowed to continue.

Of course Gunns Ltd.must stop denuding Tasmania. That's obvious. I would suggest that someone send the CEO of Gunns one of John Pilger's latest columns called "People Power." People are on the move. Everywhere. Finally.

Although I haven't been to Tasmania, I've heard from Tasmanians I've met that it's a pristine surfers paradise. Don't squander that by destroying a vital part of the ecosystem. Use HEMP instead of cutting down trees!

This is just plain Horrifying, and I am so throughly devasted by the lack of respect, man has for our Earth Mother. Do you not get it, that what you ultimately do to her, you do to yourself & all of Man Kind Please Stop and show so respect it is long overdue.

No amount of replanting can regenerate and replace what is destroyed by the logging by Gunns Ltd. Use renewable timber for woodchip and keep the forests for tourism in Tasmania.
