Is there any one else here that would enjoy pulverizing tree huggers as much as i would?
Say immobilize then force them to watch the stick go thud!!

Couldent a spike possibly kill a tree by introducing some type of virus or somthing??

That's not the point..no pun intended. At the Happy Camp, CA protest, the protesters claimed they had planted Port Orford Cedar, that was infected with the blight, in the middle of the road. You really shouldn't kill the people hooked to trees and things because that makes for even better headlines and sympathy for them. Ignoring is best. Maybe some ex lax cookies and tea.
Spiking a tree…..
When you are cutting approximately 3,600 blocks in a 10-hour shift. Approximately 400,000 bft at a rate of one 10’ log in 6-8 seconds. With two to four 12” wide bands (depending on the size of the log) that are 20’ long traveling at 5,600 rpm’s and you hit a railroad spike or two it is like standing next to a grenade. Every tooth on those saws comes off then the saw its self, shreds. It dose not matter how well the guards are built, shrap metal is flying. The four saws are so close together that when one saw hits a spike and disintegrates pieces of it get into the other saws and it is not uncommon for all the saws to be destroyed at over $1,000 each plus the down time involved, other repairs, and the hospital bills that accrue from the injuries. This is not only dangerous it gets expensive in a hurry. I have dug at least 100 spikes out of logs after hitting them with the saws. Even with bulletproof glass, it makes you pucker every time. This is even with whole log metal detectors and in line scanners. Ceramic spikes are worse then railroad spikes, at least with a railroad spike there is the chance that it will be a glancing cut and the saw will be destroyed but hold together until it stops, but ceramic spikes will explode a saw every time. Tell the mother of three kids that her husband is in the morgue because you hit a second spike this week!!!
Call it what it is: ATTEMPTED MURDER/MURDER
There was a kid killed in Humboldt County, CA by a tree that hit him. The accusations, and canonization of the killed guy went on for months, maybe years. The protesters wanted the faller thrown in prison, they had marches and candlelight stuff, it really gave them the exposure in the media that they crave. Ignoring them is best. Being fakie nice to them is best.
I snuck into an Earth First recruiting meeting in 1990. They told us that no way would we get hurt, that when you chain yourself to something dangerous, like the haulback line, or up on the tube, it'll be ok and the loggers will cuss at you at first but then will be concerned about you getting hurt. Also we were to sabotage the mechanical stuff, especially the feller bunchers because they belonged to the huge timber corporations and the bunchers "ripped out giant redwoods by their roots." I started laughing at that statement and kind of blew my cover.
