MONMOUTH, OR - The Earth Liberation Front (E.L.F.) has claimed credit
for a fire on December 25th, which destroyed Boise Cascade's regional
headquarters in Monmouth, Oregon. An estimate in damages is unknown
at this time.
A communiqui sent by the E.L.F. to the Liberation Collective in
Portland stated, "Early Christmas morning elves left coal in Boise
Cascade's stocking. Four buckets of diesel gas with kitchen timer
delay destroyed their regional headquarters".
The Earth Liberation Front is a underground environmental
organization that uses economic sabotage to end the exploitation and
destruction of the natural environment and its inhabitants.
Boise Cascade based in Boise, ID has been active in deforestation
practices in the Northwest. Now Boise Cascade has teamed up with
Maderas Condor, a Chilean company, to begin deforestation in Puerto
Montt area of Chile.
The communiqui continued, "Boise Cascade has been very naughty after
ravaging the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Boise Cascade now
looks towards the virgin forests of Chile".
This latest action by the E.L.F comes just over a year after the
group claimed credit for a $12 million fire at the Vail Resort in
Colorado, and after the group burned U.S. Forests Industries to the
ground in Medford, Oregon.
The communiqui finished by stating, "Let this be a lesson to all
greedy multinational corporations who don't respect ecosystems. The
elves are watching."

Boise Cascade has been very naughty. After ravaging the forests of
the Pacific Northwest, Boise Cascade now looks towards the virgin
forests of Chile. Early Christmas morning, elves left coal in Boise
Cascade's stocking. Four buckets of diesel and gas with kitchen
timer delay destroyed their regional headquarters in Monmouth,
Oregon.
Let this be a lesson to all greedy multinational corporations who
don't respect their ecosystems.
The elves are watching.
