The Otter Wing Timber Sale was spiked in Idaho
Communique
November 5, 2001
Hello; This is a communique from a nameless Earth Liberation Front Cell. We claim
no issue or area as our own, we just act. This is to announce we have spiked
countless trees in the Otter Wing Timber Sale, located in the Nez Perce National
Forest. For too long, the forests of Central and North Idaho have been under
assault from industrial forestry. The Boise, Payette, Clearwater, Idaho
Panhandle, and Nez Perce are some of the National Forests in Idaho that have been
scarred from excessive logging. The timber sale program - nothing but a financial
drain as well as a ecological disaster - must end. The Otter Wing Timber sale has
destroyed a once pristine ecosystem on the South Fork of the Clearwater River. It
is an area which hosted abundant wildlife, such as fish, birds, mammalian
predators, ungulates and a beautiful mosaic of different forest vegetative
patterns. Now most of that area has been logged-aside from the spiked units. We
are serious. This is our first act of sabotage in Idaho. We may feel compelled to
act again. The forest service of Idaho should know that has long as they continue
to destroy Idaho's last remaining wildlands, they risk action on behalf of the
E.L.F.
