Rainforest Action Network (RAN) has been reporting for years about Gunns Limited, a lumber company working in Tasmania. Gunns routinely clearcuts high conservation value forests, including 400-year old trees, completely destroying the local ecology, greatly decreasing soil quality and wiping out the forest's biodiversity. After the clearfell, Gunns INCINERATES THE REMAINING TREE STUMPS AND ANY SURVIVING WILDLIFE BY NAPALMING the clearfelled forest coupes. After the fires die out, Gunns then releases CARROTS POISONED with Compound 1080 (listed as a biological weapon by the US and Canada) to exterminate any remaining wildlife.

Is it possible either chemical is the source of the cancer on Taz's head?
