Trashing GM paddocks completely acceptable, say Australian activists

Leading anti-GM activists have condoned the sabotage of paddocks sown with genetically modified canola in a bid to stop WA’s planned crop trials. Greenpeace anti-GM campaigner Louise Sales said it would be ”completely acceptable” for protesters to trash crops and that such actions would be for the ”wider good”.
”I think it’s acceptable for citizens to take matters into their own hands when the Government is ignoring their wishes and releasing crops that threaten the environment,” she said.
