A woman from Los Angeles who was an environmentalist,
a tree hugger, and anti-hunter, bought a piece of
timberland, near Grants Pass, Oregon.
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 sat and waited three hours before the doctor
reappeared.The angry woman demanded,
'What took you so long?'
He smiled and then 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.
I'm sorry, but they turned me down.'
