Environmental groups also argue that the abundance of timber can be blamed on misguided fire-suppression efforts, like the Smokey Bear campaign. Many argue that wildfires should be welcomed, not suppressed, and allowed to burn unhindered except where they threaten lives.
For the life of me I can't understand the mindset of some people and groups. So in their opinion it is wrong to cut the timber, even though it can be used in a beneficial way, instead they would rather see it burn? They'd rather have animals and other flora and fauna destroyed than to just have the trees cut down? Unbelievable!
There is a similar problem in Germany. These idiots plant two trees in a square yard area. By the time they get up to 10 years, the tree is simply growing straight up. Perfect atmosphere for fires.
