	Earth Liberation Front Summary
		Earth Liberation Front (ELF) is a grassroots environmental group that the Federal Bureau of Investigation labeled "a serious terrorism threat." Since 1996, ELF and the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) committed more than 600 acts of vandalism that resulted in more than $43 million in damage, an FBI terrorism expert reported to Congress in 2002.
		ELF sympathizers say that it is an eco-defense group dedicated to taking the profit motive out of environmental destruction by targeting and causing economic damage to businesses through the use of direct action [2].
		Earth Liberation Front in the UK In contrast to their US counterparts, the actions of the ELF in the United Kingdom have mainly focused around small, unreported, covert ecotage, and have fallen short of eco-terrorism or major arson.

	Earth Liberation Front - dKosopedia
		The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) is a loosely-knit terrist (friendly term) or ecoterrorist (unfriendly term) organization that, according to the ELF, "uses direct action in the form of economic sabotage to stop the exploitation and destruction of the natural environment" [1], mainly in the United States and Canada.
		Their techniques involve destruction of property that they believe is being used to hurt animals or the environment via arson or other means, and the release of animals from research facilities.
		Later, in the 1980s the British department of Earth First decided to stop using ecotage techniques and the current ELF was formed.

	Archive \| July 10, 2000 \| Enviro-terrorism must be stopped
		Craig Rosebraugh, national spokesman for the ELF and its sister terrorist group the Animal Liberation Front, argues these acts of terrorism are acts of self-defense against those who would damage the environment.
		The ELF and groups like it are thugs, pure and simple, and Rosebraugh is a cowardly publicity hound who hides behind the veil of secrecy that surround ELF terrorists to further his own extremist agenda.
		Some people see the terrorist actions of the ELF not as a crime wave that must be halted, but as the actions of well-intended people who are frustrated by the fact that "The System" does not listen to their concerns.

		ELF has declared war against "greedy capitalists" and "rich scum." Among its chief targets are the timber, construction, and automotive industries.
		ELF exhorts people to shed their "anthropocentric" worldview in favor of an "ecocentric" alternative -- wherein the well-being of the natural world (and all of its living members) takes precedence over the well-being of mankind specifically.
		ELF also strives to "educate the public on the atrocities committed against the earth and all species that populate it." But its "public education" campaign consists largely of anonymous press releases disseminated to the media in the wake of its acts of sabotage.

	What does the ELF want from us? By Brendan I. Koerner
		The radical Earth Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for an Oct. 24 attack on a Wal-Mart construction site in Martinsville, Ind. The saboteurs vandalized over a dozen vehicles, resulting in $25,000 worth of damages—a tiny blip compared to the $100 million in damages the group says it has inflicted since the mid-1990s.
