Fox, Mary Lou, ed., Earth First! Journal 13, no. 6 (21 June 1993). Republished by the Environment & Society Portal, Multimedia Library. http://www.environmentandsociety.org/node/6972.
In this issue of Earth First! Journal Scott Greacen brings devastating news concerning wilderness areas in British Columbia; Craig Beneville discusses ecosystem planning in Southern California; and Mic Womersley offers a reflection on “Speciesism, Nazis, and the New Resistance” within the field of environmental protection.
"It seems appropriate that I am writing an article on “speciesism” the same week as the official anniversary of the Holocaust. […] It is my biased belief that future generations will refer to the twentieth century as a combined holocaust of epic dimensions in both human and non-human terms. Not only did we humans accept multiple wars of mass destruction against other humans in this century, we accepted and perpetrated a gross and extreme global war of wanton mass destruction against other species. To me, it’s all one catastrophe of human character."
— Mic Womersley
