| Environmental Group Protests Treatment of Wood Ticks |
| The environmental
group Friends of the Forest Floor is targeting Larry Heagle for promoting inhumane treatment of wood ticks. Since
Heagle declared June as National Wood Tick Month, the group has become concerned that he is encouraging people
to bag their limit in ticks, offering them a Wood Tick Rescue Kit, and telling them how to do away with the critters.
They cite Heagle's suggestion of whacking ticks with a meat cleaver as heavy-handed and cruel. "Wood ticks are important to the environment as a parasite link between bacteria, animals, and humans," comments the group's spokesperson. "We are already concerned about the tick's welfare. We don't need Larry Heagle inciting the public to find and destroy more ticks." The group finds Heagle's new video on YouTube tasteless. "That video goes way too far," notes the spokesperson. "Getting naked in the woods is not a safe practice. If Larry Heagle doesn't cease his attack on wood ticks, we will boycott him and his song." Heagle dismisses the group's concerns. "I've already picked seventy-five wood ticks off me this year, and it's only midway through wood tick month. This group needs to worry about some other friend of the forest floor, not wood ticks. My video and song give people ideas of how to check for ticks and how to get rid of them. I'm speaking from experience. After all, I am a super-charged tick magnet. Last week a tick attached itself to my "t'aint" region."
