That is a big deal, that would be timber trespass, theft, etc. Someone is a criminal and should be punished. <br /><br />Now if the landowner did not get permission from the some government body, well then that is just a protest against government theft and not really a big deal at all. This would be moral and rather adult. <br /><br />Now if this is used for firewood, no permission needed, except for the landowner, the only person that should be making decisions about his or her trees. Usually illegal clear cuts refer to sections of forest, not small stands of trees in semi-urban environments. In Mass, I believe a clear cut greater than 10 acres is illegal, was this 10 acres? We all know that Massachusetts has a deficit of open space and browse environments since the end of agriculture and charcoal making. Should we encourage tree cutting as a result?<br /><br />Now if this firewood is sold by the cord, well that is very illegal, as in Massachusetts, the cord is not a legal measurement because it has been established that the people of Massachusetts do not know what a cord is, they get confused. It is a violation of the 1st, but this is Mass, no enforcement. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-29351732492590765222016-01-17T09:37:21.153-05:002016-01-17T09:37:21.153-05:00Until you need a lawyer.Until you need a lawyer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-40220284563021057312016-01-17T09:34:23.592-05:002016-01-17T09:34:23.592-05:00You can say that until you need one.
