They use a machine that drives right up to the tree and grabs the tree and then shakes it violently till everthing falls on the ground.As long as the tree shaker runs on bio-diesel and has an illegal alien driving it then the sitters will have no recourse.

I figure their probably collectly unemployment, which thanks to our liberal congress has been extened another federally fundedm 13 weeks. BTW, if animals have the exact same legal rights as humans (not my belief), why don't we handle this like a bird infestation. Start shooting them with pellet guns. Oh wait!!! that may harm the trees, never mind. misterbee241

Guess who pays for that? Being in that place, they won't receive a bill for town services since 12/06. Mr. Taxpayer gets the usual bill, on his way to vote more liberals into office.

If everyone just ignores these idiots then either they can waste their whole life sitting in a tree OR they can declare success that they saved the trees. Once they climb down, then 5 minutes later cut the trees to the ground. Its like with little kids, if you ignore them then eventually they move on to the next “crisis” in their life.
