Domestic Eco-Terrorism Has Deep Pockets. And Many Enablers

Quote
Fueled by a recent onslaught of disinformation and fear-mongering about plant biotechnology – or perhaps by its continuing successes — extremists engaged in acts of eco-terrorism are back after a ten year hiatus.

We are seeing a return to criminal acts of vandalism, which the FBI calls economic sabotage, against research field trials of genetically engineered (GE; also known as “genetically modified,” or GM) crop plants.  Over two nights in June, unknown criminals destroyed two separate research Oregon field trials of GE sugar beets that are resistant to the effects of the herbicide glyphosate.

The term “economic sabotage,” which was first coined and is preferred by eco-terror groups, is too tepid.  This is not like a plumber puncturing the tires on a competitor’s van.  These violent acts are the kind of terrorism that historically has been linked to cells of extreme environmental and animal rights activists with names like Earth First!, Animal Liberation and Earth Liberation Front (ELF).

This is from 2013. Eco and animal rights terrorist remain dangerous like Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Boko Haram.

Tree huggers used to drive steel spike into trees so that lumberjacks would get injured trying to cut them down.
