Undoubtedly, some of the typical targets of eco-saboteurs are companies that use pesticides, new construction sites, SUV owners, biotechnology laboratories and fast-food restaurants (Gale, 2006). The eco-saboteurs are members of the group called Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an eco-terrorist group who in their ideology are protectors of the environment. They may also have been influenced by the publication of several books, including The Anarchist Cookbook (1971), by William Powell; Ecotage! (1972), edited by Sam Love and David Obst; and The Monkey Wrench Gang (1976), by Edward Abbey, a novel about four "ecoteurs" who roam the southwestern United States blowing up bridges and vandalizing bulldozers in the name of environmental protection (Gale, 2006). The ELF group was inspired by Edward Abbey's 1975 novel, "The Monkey Wrench Gang," which was influential in what the term "wrench" came to mean. Furthermore, after September 11, 2001, many Americans were afraid and demanding change. in former President Bush's priorities. Americans showed full patriotic support for former President Bush and his counterterrorism policies (Whipple, 2002). President Bush drew immediate comparisons between the ELF and Al Qaeda. The term eco-terrorism presents many complications in defining terrorism. Eco-terrorism can be defined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as “the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against persons or property by an environmentally oriented subnational group for reasons of environmental policy or aimed at an audience outside the target, often symbolic in nature (Long, 1998). Pursuing this concept further, it is necessary to redefine it due to the term "terrorism". Terrorism is an act of remorseless terror for human security. Not all eco-protesters create collateral damage and are violent acts on structures that negatively impact the environment. There have been many nonviolent civil disobediences that have had a positive impact on American history. For example, the Civil Rights Movement, led by Martin Luther King, Jr. and others. they included sit-ins and illegal marches that undermined segregation in the South. Another example was the Women's Suffrage Movement that lasted from 1848 to 1920, when thousands of courageous women marched through the streets, endured hunger strikes, and were arrested and jailed. to obtain the right to vote. Also the anti-war movement which included actions including refusal to pay for the war, refusal to join the army, occupation of draft centers, sit-ins, blockades, peace camps and refusal to allow Military recruiters on high school and college campuses (Starr, 1998).
