An illegal logger has been speared to death by Amazon natives in Ecuador's Yasuní National Park, officials say.

The killing, which occurred March 4, reflects mounting tensions between natives and illegal loggers working in one of South America's most prized parks.

It also follows allegations made in February that as many as 15 Amazonian tribal members were beheaded by timber poachers in the region.

The death of the logger was confirmed by a spokesperson at the Orellana provincial police headquarters in Coca, Ecuador (see Ecuador map).

(I know, the dregs who troll D.U. will stagger by to claim these people are wrong to interfere with good entrepreneurs who are trying to make a living. Yeah, we've heard all that gibberish already, over and over and over and over.

Long live the plundering, rapacious, murderous, larcenous, vicious bidnessmen, and down with their victims if they try to drive these clowns out of their only known homes. Oh, yeah.)
