"Here's my average economy," North said, pushing a button on his steering wheel to call up digital information on his dashboard, "12.1 miles." A security camera captured pictures of two suspects. Vandals scribbled "ELF" and "I (heart) pollution" on the vehicles. In the California attack last month, 20 H2 Hummers were destroyed and another 20 were damaged at a cost of $2.5 million.
Once a curio and now one of the most conspicuous symbols of American consumption, the vehicle has been targeted because it represents "the worst of American excess and the wastefulness of SUV culture-getting 12 miles to the gallon and basically designed as an urban tank," the ELF press office said in an e-mail response to a reporter's questions. Such militants are now singling out the Hummer, the civilian version of the military Humvee. The FBI estimates that ELF and ALF are responsible for more than 600 criminal acts since 1996. Many of the freed animals were killed by dogs, died in the heat or were run over by cars.ĪLF has also been linked to fires at meat and egg processing plants in California. Last month, members of the Animal Liberation Front released 10,000 minks from their pens at a fur farm in Sultan, Wash.
