  • The name was founded by John Hanna who was the only member of the group to be arrested and convicted for the use of explosives on federal property. The ELF conducted armed actions in northern California and Oregon and disbanded in 1978 following Hanna's arrest for placing incendiary devices on seven crop-dusters at the Salinas, California airport on May Day, 1977. They said that "warfare" designed pesticides were being used on domestic crops, specifically a chemical banned after it's extensive use in Vietnam. A communique to The Independent later provided the group with a frontpage story. They also called for above-ground organisations to initiate a boycott of sprayed food and for the public to criticise the process, with the following claim that: There was also an article published in Open Road in August 1977 featuring the bombing at a paper publishing company in Oregon City. The target was again a company who the ELF claimed were responsible for using a dangerous chemical called Tordon for aerial spraying, used as part of a program in Vietnam and responsible for causing cancer and birth defects.
