Pistil-packing Activists Suspected in Flower Plantings

This has to be one of the oddest forms of protest I've ever heard of.  Original, if it's true, and clever!  I wonder if a rogue conservative with a bottle of Round-Up could be jailed for assault with a deadly weapon in this case ;)

So, 21 acres sit unused because there are 22 flowers on it?  Put them in an arboretum!

Wetlands, Chad, animals that can't live anywhere else live there.  Or do you think we should build a zoo?

It said it was ADJACENT to wetlands, not that it IS wetlands.  All that it said was found on that site were the 22 endangered flowers that they think were planted there.

Move them to a place where they can live BETTER, and then build.

I don't know if you've ever seen a housing development go up, but, hey, that wetland is not going to last long next to one.  It was an incredibly clever move if actually planned and committed as the authorities think.

I'm suprised the builders don't just hire someone to "take 'em out"

whats the worst that happens then? someone kills 'em off and gets charged with herbicide? no its a fine and they call it a day.

Daverino, we've already found your dirty shovel.  Come with us for questioning.  Don't worry, we'll release you in a few hours ;D

Oh, and your stellar pic wasn't showing up.....and why don't you want this one to be your av instead of that lame one?  Don't you like being seen all dolled up? ;)
