Is eco-terrorism justified?
<|assistant|>
No, eco-terrorism is not justified. Eco-terrorism involves the violent destruction of property in order to promote environmental protest or advocacy and is considered criminal activities. Such actions can potentially harm innocent people and cause economic damage, which goes against the goal of environmental protection. Furthermore, such activities fail to generate long-term change since they focus more on the act itself than constructive means. In addition, they can create a negative image of the environmental cause in the public and discourage potential supporters.
