Natural Resources a few years ago. While I was working there,
specifically on New Years Eve, 1999 the building I worked in was fire
bombed by ELF.
They bombed a researchers office who was trying to create a disease
resistant strain of corn to help feel poor nations. The total cost in
damage to the building was over a million dollars.
I never was able to see their point of view. How foes firebombing
research intended to feed poor people fit into their agenda? It's
just stupid.
I also recall that a few years prior to that (1995) some organization
"freed" a bunch of minks (which all died) and then set fire to the
mink farm. I didn't get that either. How does burning a farm and
killing all the animals fit the definition of animal rights? (As a
note, they apparently caught the guy who did that.)
Oh well. People are crazy all over.
