Article Xtra #2 :: Dave Foreman Q & A
“Oh boy…oh boy…oh boy,” Earth First! founder Dave Foreman groaned as SFR explained over the phone the story running in this week’s print edition. A Santa Fe woman was busted by the Feds last summer, eight years after she engaged in an Earth Liberation Front act of vandalism. Foreman had similar experiences back when he was monkey wrenching, but is currently heading up the Albuquerque-based Rewilding Institute, which I’ll let him explain in his own words in this full transcript of our interview:
Could you talk to me for a few minutes about the way things were in back, say, 2000 or so?
Well, I haven’t been involved with Earth First! since about 1989. I was only involved during the 1980s and I left then because I didn’t like the direction it was going, becoming less of a conservation group and more sort of part of the international, anarchist, animal-rights movement.
