Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in the 1970s and today active in more than 40 countries, the Animal Liberation Front has in recent years been considered a domestic terrorist group by both the FBI and the Southern Poverty Law Center--despite the ALF's official stance of nonviolence. A clandestine, phantom cell organization, the ALF has functioned as a sort of Underground Railroad for captive animals, executing raids and attacks on animal testing facilities. Yet little has been written about the group or its founder. With unprecedented access by the author, this book tells the story of Ronnie Lee, the unassuming British activist who launched an extremist movement that continues to use intimidation and economic sabotage to advance its cause.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the definitive history of the Animal Liberation Front (A.L.F.) - as told by those who made it. The A.L.F. Strikes Again is the largest-ever collection of writing from members of the Animal Liberation Front (the "radical fringe of the animal rights movement"), tying together over 40 years of documents with one goal: A complete collection of everything written by the A.L.F. in North America. From anonymous interviews with the activists behind the rescue of 1,200 animals from the University of Arizona, to how-to guides on sinking whaling ships, to "how it was done" pieces on shutting down an Iowa fur farm - it's all here. Here is the book, in five parts: Part One: How It Was Done - The A.L.F. gives step-by-step accounts of some of their most spectacular animal liberations, including: The University Of Arizona (1,200 animals rescued, 1989) University of California - Harbor (12 dogs rescued, 1983) College Of Notre Dame (250 mice rescued, 2000) ...and a dozen more Part Two: Interviews - Rare tell-all interviews with the Animal Liberation Front, including activists behind raids such as: The University of Pennsylvania (labs broken into and vivisection footage removed, 1984) Texas Tech University (Five cats rescued, 1989) University of Alberta (29 cats rescued, 1992) ...and ten more. Part Three: Essays - From anonymous bulletins for the A.L.F. to communicate between cells, to overt calls to action, to prison writings - it's all here. Among them: "A.L.F. Bulletin To All Fur Farm Raiders" (message from an A.L.F. cell on optimizing fur farm liberations) "Life Underground" (Anonymous A.L.F. member on the necessity of going underground for animal liberation) "Fire Is A Good Tool" (Activist behind rescue of 46 dogs from a California lab on regrets over not burning the lab down) ...and over 15 more. Part Four: Communiques - Over 150 anonymous statements released after A.L.F. actions, among them: University Of Oregon (264 animals rescued, 1986) University Of Minnesota (116 animals rescued, 1999) United Feeds (fur farm feed supplier burned down, 1999) ...and over 150 more.

The A.L.F. breaks into buildings, rescues animals, and destroys property of animal abusers. They work outside the law, and, unless caught, their identities are never known. Forty years into the A.L.F.'s history in North America, despite over 1,000 actions, being the subject of multiple congressional hearings, and surviving the label of "America's number one domestic terrorist threat" - their history has been largely untold. This book is a platform for the Animal Liberation Front to finally tell their story. With few blindspots, this book compiles nearly everything written by the North American Animal Liberation Front - settling the score on what the A.L.F. is, what they believe, and exactly how they do what they do. Regarded as heroes by many today, yet regarded as heroes by all tomorrow - this book was compiled to play a role in history vindicating the Animal Liberation Front.

Download or read book The Animal Liberation Front written by Steven Best and published by Lantern Books. This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The actions of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) constitute one of the most misunderstood components of the animal advocacy movement in the U.K. and U.S. Not so much an organization as an ever-changing cluster of individuals who free animals from laboratories, farms, and other animal-confinement facilities, the ALF has been by turns romanticized and vilified, hounded and lionized. In this detailed introduction to the ALF, which constitutes the opening chapter of their edited volume, Terrorists or Freedom Fighters?, academics Steve Best and Anthony Nocella place the ALF in the context of other liberation and social justice movements and examine its stated commitment to nonviolence and the forces arrayed against it. The result is a potent, polemical, and passionately engaged study of activism in an age of terror laws and fearmongering.

Download or read book From Environmental Action to Ecoterrorism written by Gerry Nagtzaam and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book scrutinizes the growth of the ‘eco-terrorism’ movement operating on a global scale, focusing on the main groups and their more radical offshoots, both historically and those currently active. These include Earth First!, the Earth Liberation Front, the Animal Liberation Front and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. It critically examines how these groups form and how they have evolved, their key personnel, their strategies and tactics, principles, motivating philosophies and attitudes to violence. Specifically, the book seeks to understand whether such groups inevitably evolve from activists to militants to terrorists, as the literature suggests. Lastly, it considers the future of such groups, asking whether they will become more prominent as more people become ecologically aware and as global environmental conditions deteriorate, or whether such groups have peaked as a force for environmental change.
Download or read book Total Liberation written by David Naguib Pellow and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When in 2001 Earth Liberation Front activists drove metal spikes into hundreds of trees in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, they were protesting the sale of a section of the old-growth forest to a timber company. But ELF’s communiqué on the action went beyond the radical group’s customary brief. Drawing connections between the harms facing the myriad animals who make their home in the trees and the struggles for social justice among ordinary human beings resisting exclusion and marginalization, the dispatch declared, “all oppression is linked, just as we are all linked,” and decried the “patriarchal nightmare” in the form of “techno-industrial global capitalism.” In Total Liberation, David Naguib Pellow takes up this claim and makes sense of the often tense and violent relationships among humans, ecosystems, and nonhuman animal species, expanding our understanding of inequality and activists’ uncompromising efforts to oppose it. Grounded in interviews with more than one hundred activists, on-the-spot fieldwork, and analyses of thousands of pages of documents, websites, journals, and zines, Total Liberation reveals the ways in which radical environmental and animal rights movements challenge inequity through a vision they call “total liberation.” In its encounters with such infamous activists as scott crow, Tre Arrow, Lauren Regan, Rod Coronado, and Gina Lynn, the book offers a close-up, insider’s view of one of the most important—and feared—social movements of our day. At the same time, it shows how and why the U.S. justice system plays to that fear, applying to these movements measures generally reserved for “jihadists”—with disturbing implications for civil liberties and constitutional freedom. How do the adherents of “total liberation” fight oppression and seek justice for humans, nonhumans, and ecosystems alike? And how is this pursuit shaped by the politics of anarchism and anticapitalism? In his answers, Pellow provides crucial in-depth insight into the origins and social significance of the earth and animal liberation movements and their increasingly common and compelling critique of inequality as a threat to life and a dream of a future characterized by social and ecological justice for all.
