WARNING ! THIS FOOTAGE CONTAINS VERY COARSE LANGUAGE AND SCENES THAT MAY BE DISTRESSING
This morning, a peaceful action by conservationists in the Upper Florentine was targeted by violent logging contractors, with one activist kicked in the head and blockade infrastructure attacked with a sledgehammer, seriously endangering two activists.This occurred while a Forestry Tasmania employee watched on.
"Members of the Tasmanian community engaged in legitimate peaceful protest in defence of ancient forests should not be subjected to this kind of violence, nor should it be condoned by Forestry Tasmania employees" said Still Wild Still Threatened spokeperson Ula Majewski.
"Due to the carbon-storage value of this forest, the contentious nature of this logging operation and today's violence, Still Wild Still Threatened requests an immediate cessation of logging in coupe FO042E" Ula Majewski said.

I hope that the future can bring ways for peaceful negotiations between forestry workers and activists. A reminder that it is big buisness who are the real winners, not those with their bodies, jobs and families on the line.
