Animal Liberation Front
Mission
The Animal Liberation
Front (ALF) carries out direct action against animal abuse in the
form of rescuing animals and causing financial loss to animal exploiters,
usually through the damage and destruction of property.
The ALF's short-term aim is to save as many animals as possible
and directly disrupt the practice of animal abuse. Their long term
aim is to end all animal suffering by forcing animal abuse companies
out of business.
It is a nonviolent campaign, activists taking all precautions
not to harm any animal (human or otherwise).
Because ALF actions are against the law, activists work anonymously,
either in small groups or individually, and do not have any centralized
organization or coordination.
The Animal Liberation Front consists of small autonomous groups
of people all over the world who carry out direct action according
to the ALF guidelines. Any group of people who are vegetarians
or vegans and who carry out actions according to ALF guidelines
have the right to regard themselves as part of the ALF
The ALF guidelines are:
1. TO liberate animals from places of abuse, i.e. laboratories, factory
farms, fur farms, etc, and place them in good homes where they may
live out their natural lives, free from suffering.
2. TO inflict economic damage to those who profit from the misery
and exploitation of animals.
3. TO reveal the horror and atrocities committed against animals
behind locked doors, by performing non-violent direct actions and
liberations.
4. TO take all necessary precautions against harming any animal,
human and non-human. |
