let us free to pollute and torture animals, as it is our god given right as americans..

Oregon, a state that has been targeted at least 29 times since 1980

by so-called " eco-terrorists, " is now home to the nation's first

organization exclusively dedicated to tracking and eliminating

eco-terrorism. The organization, Stop Eco-Violence, was cofounded by

a former spokesperson for a building products company, a Portland

State University terrorism expert, and a conservative Los Angeles

fundraiser, with the support of a Washington, D.C.-based public

relations firm that specializes in giving makeovers to industry

groups on the rocks. Stop Eco-Violence plans to keep tabs on acts of

eco-terrorism and funding sources for eco-terrorists, and to unite

police, academics, and victims of eco-terrorist attacks, ranging from

loggers to ranchers, from homebuilders to auto dealers. David

Barbarash, a spokesperson for the Animal Liberation Front, dismissed

the new group, saying ecologically motivated sabotage would end only

by " stopping animal torture, stopping the destruction of the

environment for profit and greed, and treating all species and all

life ... with a sense of responsibility. "
