A representative of Pacific Lumber, on far right, serves Ellen Taylor with SLAPP suit papers at a Fish and Game protest and rally in Eureka, California. SLAPP civil lawsuits are Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation. Powerful corporations use SLAPP suits to intimidate and silence public outcry with the threat of taking protester's property and assets. Ellen is a Mattole watershed resident and homeowner fighting to save her community from environmental destruction by PL/Maxxam logging.
