Pity it didn't fall on them...

A fate similar to the one suffered by the troglodyte who thought it would be rollicking good fun to go around shooting hundred year old cacti would have been appropriate:
In 1982, roommates David Grundman and James Joseph Suchochi decided to pack up their guns and go wandering Cactus in the desert two miles north of Arizona 74, just west of Lake Pleasant. One or both of them was struck with the brilliant notion of taking pot shots at saguaro they found growing there. Maybe it was the devil in them. Maybe it had to do with the eerily manlike shapes these monstrous plants can grow into.

Grundman shot a small saguaro in the trunk so many times that it thudded to the ground. "The first one was easy!" he cried, according to Suchochi. He next chose a specimen which stood 26 feet high and was estimated to be a hundred years old. Before the ringing in his ears had stopped, a four-foot spiny arm, severed by the blast, fell on Grundman and crushed him.

Saguaros are tall cactuses that can reach heights of 60 feet and grow only in the Sonoran Desert, which straddles the U.S.-Mexico border in the southwestern United States. For the first 75 years of their lives, they have only huge central trunks; their distinctive outstretched and upwards-bent arms develop later, if at all. Their usual lifespan is 150 to 200 years, though some have lived to be 300.

Oh, one other fact about saguaros; they can weigh up to eight tons. As Grundman found out.

Apparently these bozos were Scout leaders.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

FYI If some of you are wondering about the landscape these asses destroyed it was featured in "Galaxy Quest"

When we were in Alaska visiting Haines, the bartender was telling me of a guy who went to the area dump and starting shooting Bald Eagles. He killed 50 of them before being stoppped and arrested.
I just wonder what kind of thought process these people have.

They don't.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

from the comments section after the article...
Strabilla

It's now obvious to me why so few Americans believe in evolution - they don't often see evidence of it.
And I thought I'd read that these yahoos were Boy Scout leaders. Who should know better.

Pretty much anyone with an IQ above 80.

I was a Boy Scout. We were taught, only leave footprints and only take pictures, when out in the wild.
