The group's first claimed action was in 1997; since then they have claimed responsibility for dozens of attacks [2] (http://www.earthliberationfront.com/about/)-- 32 in 2001 alone [3] (http://www.earthliberationfront.com/library/2001DirectActions.pdf)--resulting in "$30 million in damages," including one attack in which they released animals involved in research into Alzheimer's disease and cancer at the University of Minnesota.
