Environmentalism gone too far?

A woman from Hobart, who was a tree hugger and anti-hunter, purchased acres of timberland near the Franklin dam,   There was a huge tree on one of the highest points in the tract. 

She wanted to view the natural splendor of her land, so she climbed the tree.  As she neared the top, she encountered an endangered spotted owl.  It attacked her!  In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground.  The ensuing fall incurred several splinters of wood in her crotch. 

In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest doctor, 35 minutes away in Launceston.  She told him she was an environmentalist and anti-hunter and how she came to receive all of the splinters.  The doctor listened to her story with great patience.  He then told her to go into the examining room and he would see if he could help.  The impatient patient sat, and sat, and waited for three hours before the doctor reappeared. 

The angry woman demanded, ‘What took you so long?’ He smiled and said, ‘Well, I had to get permits from National Parks and Wildlife.. the National Forestry Agency and Tasmanian Workcover before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area.  I’m sorry, but they turned me down.’
