“He appears to be the type of person these groups entice and basically use as sacrificial lambs for their causes,” judge said.
A B.C. judge has slammed an environmental activist group for using protesters as “sacrificial lambs” in its campaign to draw attention to old-growth logging using high-profile but disruptive traffic blockades.
“He appears to be the type of person these groups entice and basically use as sacrificial lambs for their causes,” she said in Richmond provincial court. Five days later, Schortinghuis and four others blocked a crosswalk at Grandview Highway and Boundary, impeding the entrance to Highway 1. Save Old Growth’s earlier campaign of blockades on major B.C. roads and highways to call for an end of old-growth logging involved protesters risking arrest and the ire of frustrated motorists.
