Earth Liberation Front Claims Responsibility For
URGENT NEWS ADVISORY
VISALIA, CA - The underground Earth Liberation Front (E.L.F.) has officially
claimed responsibility for a fire at the Delta & Pine Land Co. Research
cotton gin in Visalia, California on February 20, 2001.
D&PL are responsible for the Monsanto Corporation's controversial terminator
seed technology. This program renders seeds sterile forcing farmers to
purchase seeds annually from Monsanto. These seeds also have been proven to
pass sterile genes onto wild plants through cross-pollination threatening
biodiversity.
A communique sent by the E.L.F. stated, "We chose this warehouse because it
contained massive quantities of transgenic cotton seed in storage. But now,
this seed will no longer exist to contaminate the environment, enrich a sick
corporation, or contribute to its warped research programs."
The E.L.F. is an international anonymous 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, "D&PL continues to pursue its 'Terminator
technology' despite global opposition to the genetic engineering of plants to produce
sterile seeds. Engineering a suicide sequence into the plant world is the
most dangerous new technology since nuclear power and needs to be stopped."
Since 1997, in the United States alone, the E.L.F. have caused near $40
million in damages to entities profiting off the exploitation and destruction of the
natural environment.
The communique finished by stating, "We are the burning rage of a dying
planet. Earth Liberation Front (ELF). ...Terminate D&PL, cremate Monsanto,
burn biotechnology..."

COMMUNIQUE SENT BY THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT
"The Earth Liberation Front takes credit for torching
the Delta & Pine Land Co. Research cotton gin
in Visalia, California on February 20.
D&PL continues to pursue its "Terminator technology" despite global
opposition to the genetic engineering of plants to produce sterile seeds.
Engineering a suicide sequence into the plant world is the most
dangerous new technology since nuclear power and needs to be stopped.
We chose this warehouse because it contained massive quantities of
transgenic cotton seed in storage. But now, this seed will no longer
exist to contaminate the environment, enrich a sick corporation, or
contribute to its warped research programs.
After cutting through a padlock on a door to get into the warehouse,
we placed 4 five-gallon buckets filled with half gasoline and half
diesel in strategic locations. Windows were broken to provide
the fire with oxygen and timers were set.
Within just a few minutes the operation was complete.
We are the burning rage of a dying planet.
Earth Liberation Front (ELF)
...Terminate D&PL, cremate Monsanto, burn biotechnology..."
