Underground Earth Liberation Front Claims Responsibility
For Burning Superior Lumber Company In Oregon
GLENDALE, OR - The Earth Liberation Front (E.L.F.) has officially claimed
responsibility for burning down the Superior Lumber Company in Glendale, Oregon
on January 1, 2001. This latest action by the E.L.F. caused at least $400,000
in damages.
A communique sent by the E.L.F. stated, "Superior Lumber is a typical earth
raper contributing to the ecological destruction of the Northwest. What
happened to them should shock no one."
The E.L.F. is an international underground organization that uses direct action
in the form of economic sabotage to stop the systematic exploitation and
destruction of the natural environment.
The communique continued, "This year, 2001, we hope to see an escalation in
tactics against capitalism and industry."
Since 1997, in the United States alone, the E.L.F. have caused well over $36
million in damages to entities profiting off the destruction of the
environment.
The communique finished by stating, "While Superior Lumber says, 'Make a few
items, and do it better than anyone else,' we say, 'choose an earth raper, and
destroy them'".
Other Northwest actions committed by the E.L.F. include; the burning of a
Bureau of Land Management Horse Corral in Burns, OR on November 29, 1997, the
burning of a USDA Animal Damage Control building in Olympia, WA on June 21,
1998, the burning of U.S. Forest Industries in Medford, OR on December 27,
1998, the burning of Boise Cascade in Monmouth, OR on December 25, 1999, and
more.
