EARTH LIBERATION FRONT TAKES RESPONSIBILITY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The underground Earth Liberation Front (ELF) has claimed responsibility
for the arson of two cement trucks belonging to Ross Island Sand and Gravel in the
Portland, Oregon area. In their communique the ELF warns, "If Ross Island
Sand and Gravel mines in the Columbia River Gorge, then the E.L.F. will take
necessary action. Let this be a warning to all the greedy corporations who
exploit our Earth's natural resources, especially those who do it under the
FTAA and the title of "free trade."
In recent years Ross Island Sand and Gravel have made headlines in Oregon for
their environmentally destructive practices, including the dredging of toxic
disposal cells.
Since 1997 the Earth Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for over 30
acts of illegal economic sabotage in North America, totaling nearly $40
million in damages against those who profit from the destruction of the natural
environment. The ELF recognizes that those destroying the Earth are doing so
in order to make money, so in attempt to protect our natural habitats, and
the elements of the natural environment that we all need to survive, the ELF
takes direct action in the form of economic sabotage.

*The following communique was sent anonymously to the North American Earth
Liberation Front Press Office:
"The Earth Liberation Front claims responsibility for the fire that took
place at Ross Island Sand and Gravel on Sunday, April 15th. For many years Ross
Island Sand and Gravel has been guilty of stealing soil from the Earth,
specifically the lagoon on Ross Island. Further, the recent
acknowledgment of the dredging of toxic disposal cells has drawn our attention to the
exploitation that Ross Island Sand and Gravel commits against our Earth. In
their Easter basket we decided to leave four containers with gasoline and a
time delayed fuse placed under two of their cement trucks. If Ross Island
Sand and Gravel mines in the Columbia River Gorge, then the E.L.F. will take
necessary action. Let this be a warning to all the greedy corporations who
exploit our Earth's natural resources, especially those who plan on doing it
under the FTAA and the title of "free trade."
