Tre Arrow, 34, pleaded guilty to the destruction of concrete-mixing trucks in Portland in April 2001 and to firebombing logging trucks at a contested logging sale near Mount Hood in June 2001. He had faced up to 40 years in prison if convicted of two counts of arson.

ALF and ELF are recognized by the FBI as the top domestic terrorist threats in the United States. One of the reasons they have earned this distinction is because of their total disregard for human life. They have advocated for the murder of medical researchers and have destroyed millions of dollars worth of property.
