Environmental-Activists
can you make comment below.?

Sharon,
your solution shows a lot of restraint on your part. Tree spiking is considered eco terrorism by the FBI. It has happened so much at this point that there is actually a legal precedence. Any act that may knowingly cause harm to workers is illegal.I am curious to what ethical theory aligns with the actions of the protestors? Do you think they are acting in their own interest or do you think that they regard what they are doing is for the better good?

Sharon,Great post. Good ideas on how to end the protest and make everyone happy. In a situation like this from the beginning to the end they all needed to have better communication then harm may not have been caused. It seems everyone today is always looking out for their own benefit using ethical egoism. If others would think of others the world could be a better place. Good luck in your next classes or graduation. Kim D.

Prof and classmates, Wow, Unit 10, time flies. The actions of the activists are unethical and can be identified as ethical egoism. They only cared about themselves and their cause. The actions caused injuries to another human being (and the trees they were supposed to be protecting) and should be turned into the authorities. If I were the owner I would set up hunting cams to catch them with photographic evidence and get a restraining order so they can not cause harm to anyone or anything else. Have a great week everyone,
