		<description><![CDATA[It is horrific how Peru&#039;s government continues to justify the killings in the Amazon. 

What&#039;s so insane about it is that companies persist in ravaging the rainforest for fossil fuels, which we all know are the scourge of the environment. It&#039;s time to stop the madness, switch to alternative energy sources and leave the Amazonian people alone.]]></description>
