Foreman, Dave, et al., eds., Earth First! 8, no. 4 (20 March 1988). Republished by the Environment & Society Portal, Multimedia Library. http://www.environmentandsociety.org/node/6899.
In this issue of Earth First!, Dave Foreman questions the rule for successful environmental advocacy, Todd Steiner calls for attention to the dolphin slaughter occuring in eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, Tanja Keogh discusses the US government Animal Damage Control (ADC), and longtime Forest activist and EF!er Howie Wolke fills up eight pages with a tabloid on the management of National Forests.
A new generation of Earth First!ers have also failed to learn that they should only choose easy issues. Stop an aerial wolf hunt in interior British Columbia in the middle of the winter? Parachute in to do it? Haw, haw. Grow up, kids.[…]. Their incredible dedication and courage inspired EF!ers and members of Friends of the Wolf […]. Know what? I’m proud to know such immature, silly, impractical people. I call them heroes.
