Vandals targeted a timber company that has proposed a controversial development in Maine's North Woods, using paint, feces and even animal guts to deface the company's offices and the homes of two employees, police said Tuesday.
Jim Lehner, Plum Creek Timber Co.'s regional general manager, was awakened at midnight to find that his Oakland home was under attack. Rocks and small containers filled with paint were thrown at the house, breaking four windows, said Police Chief Michael Tracy.
In Greenville, meanwhile, project manager Luke Muzzy's home was defaced with animal feces, police said. Muzzy's two children were home at the time.
"It's one thing to have a company targeted, but it's quite different when families are targeted. That takes it to a different level," Lehner said after spending the morning cleaning up broken glass. "My wife was terrified."
Plum Creek's offices in Fairfield and a real estate office formerly owned by Muzzy in Greenville also were targeted with paint, and animal parts were left on the door knobs at each location, police said.
In Oakland, Tracy said the damage went far beyond typical Halloween mischief. He said the damage to Lehner's home was "thousands of dollars."
It was not the first time vandals targeted Seattle-based Plum Creek after it proposed rezoning about 10,000 acres of timberlands around Moosehead Lake to make way for two resorts, 975 house lots, campgrounds and other uses.
Someone defaced Plum Creek's Fairfield office in July and someone broke into the Greenville office a month later, police said. Lehner said someone targeted his company vehicle as well, scraping the words "Leave Maine" in the paint.
ping.
I guess there are no PETA members in ELF.
".....it's quite different when families are targeted. That takes it to a different level,"
A level many ELFs aren't prepared for, I suspect. One day a few of 'em will be greeted with some buckshot.
An armed society is a polite society.
Have we come to the point where people who work for certain companies have to use slighly under-fed pitbull dogs to guard thier property?

Read all about what is going on in the UK right now.

And some people say the US is "science unfriendly"
This ain't about animal testing, this is about development. Those poor pine trees and that poor Katrina debris.
See I can be reasonable. :)
