ELF targeted by Seattle FBI

As reported here, ELF, the domestic eco-terrorist Earth Liberation Front group, which operates in secrecy has become a top priority of the Seattle FBI office, with the Building Industry Association of Washington throwing in a $100,000.00 reward to help.

Since 1996, it is estimated that arsons committed by ELF has cost over $8 million in damages, and there are fears that eventually someone will be hurt or killed through the actions of these domestic terrorists. The most recent activity of the group is acts of arson in new housing developments in the Seattle suburbs of Sammamish and Redmond.

Now, here's what's wrong - beyond the actual crime, that is - with the activities of ELF. They are supposedly committing these acts to "protect the environment", specifically trees, right? Well, every time these numbnuts burn down a house, guess what happens? The builder replaces what was burned down. How does the builder do that? By purchasing more lumber. Where does lumber come from? Trees, perhaps? So ... protesting against the use of trees for lumber by burning down new houses, causing more lumber to be used to rebuild what was destroyed?

Their "logic" escapes me.
