ELF ISSUES STATEMENT ON ANTI-SPRAWL ACTION IN MACOMB COUNTY MICHIGAN

MICHIGAN -- The Earth Liberation Front Press Office has received an anonymous
communique from the Earth Liberation Front claiming responsibility for two
fires that took place on the night of June 4th, 2003 in Macomb County,
Michigan. The anti-sprawl action targeted two homes nearing completion in the
Willow Ridge development and resulted in $700,000 in damages. Graffiti left at
the site read "ELF - Stop Sprawl", indicating that the action was in fact taken
by the ELF. 

This is the fourth anti-sprawl action claimed by the ELF since the start of
2003.

The communique issued by the ELF follows:

<begin communique>

The Earth Liberation Front is taking credit for the June 4, 2003 decimation of
two under construction homes in the so-called Willow Ridge Development in
Macomb County, Michigan. Both were completely destroyed. While all too many of
us mourn the losses of the great forests of the Western United States, the
destruction of tropical rainforests, and the plight of endangered birds in
other ends of the world, tragedy is upon us here in our own backyards. For too
long, we, the people of Michigan, have allowed our magnificent forests to be
levelled and shipped off, our water to be poisoned and now, greed driven
developers are trying to marginalize off the last green spaces and habitat of
our unknown Edens. We pray for the recovery of our neighboring Peregrine
Falcons, the wild ducks that depend on our prairie wetlands, the Lake Sturgeon,
and all others on the brink... but like the sly Cougar, we wait in the shadows,
knowing that one day we will thrive again in harmony wih the Earth.

<end communique>

The Earth Liberation Front is an international underground organization that
uses direct action in the form of economic sabotage to oppose the destruction
of the natural environment. Since 1997, the E.L.F. has carried out dozens of
actions resulting in close to $50 million in damages in North America.
