The Animal Liberation Front (ALF)

The Animal Liberation Front consists of small autonomous groups of people all over the world that carries out direct action according to the A.L.F. guidelines.

These groups are called cells that range from one individual to many individuals working closely together. Activists in one cell do not know A.L.F. activists in another cell because they remain anonymous. This is what helps to keep activists out of jail, and free to be active another day.

Since there is not a central organisation or membership guide to the A.L.F., people are driven only by their own personal conscience or cell decisions to carry out actions. The A.L.F. is non-hierarchical in its structure which allows for only those people involved directly in the action to control their own destiny.

Anyone in your community could be part of The A.L.F. without you knowing. This includes P.T.A. parents, church volunteers, your spouse, your neighbour, or your mayor. No one is immune to the suffering of animals, which includes even the workers themselves in any animal abuse industry who cannot bear to watch animals withering in pain any longer.

Any action that adheres to the strict non-violence guidelines, which follow, can be considered an A.L.F. action. Economic sabotage and property destruction is considered A.L.F. actions, as well as live liberations. Volunteers carry out actions across the world to bring animal liberation a little closer to the victims of untold agony.

Since there isn't a way to contact the A.L.F. in your area, it is up to each of us to take the responsibility ourselves to stop the exploitation of fellow animals. In the words of a convicted A.L.F. activist "when you see the pictures of a masked liberator, stop asking who's behind the mask and look in the mirror!"

Any group of people who are vegetarians or vegans and who carry out actions according to A.L.F. guidelines have the right to regard themselves as part of the A.L.F.

Laboratory Animal Liberation Campaign

Liberation of laboratory animals are some of the hardest actions to accomplish, since such tedious preparation is necessary to achieve success. Once animals are brought to safety, they need to be treated by a trusted veterinarian and placed in loving homes. Often times, A.L.F. volunteers are not able to rescue every animal, because there aren't enough homes or sanctuaries for them.

Numerous larger liberations took place in the early eighties before technologically advanced security systems were placed in larger animal laboratories. Plenty of taxpayer money is available to vivisectors, which allows them to upgrade security on a regular basis. This too becomes a success for animals since money used to purchase animals is re-directed to purchasing new equipment and supplies, while insurance premiums skyrocket.

The first A.L.F. liberation in the North America happened March 14, 1979 at New York Medical Center. One cat, two dogs, and two guinea pigs were liberated. Because A.L.F. volunteers can only take animals that homes have been found for, numbers remained small.

A combination of liberations and economic sabotage began Dec. 1982 in Washington DC; at Howard University, Medical School. Thirty-five cats were liberated, and estimated property damage was $2,640. This combination continued to reap massive rewards for animals since cages had to be replaced, and research was destroyed.

The greatest success of this strategy was illustrated in May 1984 at the University of Pennsylvania, Head Injury Laboratory. $60,000 economic damage, and sixty hours of researcher's videotapes were taken which produced the movie "Unnecessary Fuss" that documented vivisectors taunting and ridiculing sentient animals after horrific experiments were performed.

This evidence recorded by vivisectors themselves, helped to stop funding for the experiments.

Another, famous action, included liberating one hundred fifteen animals (13 cats, 18 rabbits, 21 dogs, 50 mice, and more), along with $500,000 research destruction, and $7,000 damage. The City of Hope, National Research Center, in California never fully recovered from this action on Dec. 1984.

The following year in April 1985, almost 1000 animals were liberated (1 monkey, 21 cats, 9 opossums, 35 rabbits, 38 pigeons, 70 gerbils, 300 mice, rabbits and 460 rats) from the University of California at Riverside. Documents and videotapes were taken with an estimated $700,000 damage caused. These videotapes were shown to the media to expose vivisection at it's worst. A video entitled "Britches" was made to document the success story of one infant primate who was isolated in a steel cage after animal researchers had crudely stitched his eyes shut, for a blindness experiment.

He has since fully recovered after being surrounded with other primates, in a loving environment.

Breeding facilities prove excellent for raids since England has proven that repeated, continual campaigns of direct action can close them permanently. Consort Beagle Breeders in England was closed after repeated A.L.F. actions. One such example saved the lives of 25 dogs that were liberated. The campaign began October of 1996, and nine months later, on June 3, 1997, Consort closed down and emptied the kennels. Fifty beagles were turned over to animal rights activists.

An example for North America is the University of Oregon, Breeding Facility which saw 264 animals (12 hamsters, 28 cats, 24 rabbits, 100 rats and pigeons) rescued October 26, 1986. $120,000 worth of damage was inflicted on the laboratory.

Because of increased security, liberations haven't been as frequent in the 1990's. However, June 19, 1992 at the University of Alberta, Ellerslie Research Station, 29 cats were liberated and $100,000 damage done with documents taken. Activists took boxes of files pertaining to illegal sources of the dogs they used.

Most recently, July 4, 1998 at Marmotech Inc. in New York, 150 woodchucks were set free. The A.L.F. took and destroyed the data cards on these cages, logbooks and other information were also confiscated and disposed of, and vials of infectious serum were removed from a refrigerator to spoil.

Despite obstacles such as increased security, and finding enough homes, the Animal Liberation Front will continue to directly stop suffering, by placing their own lives on the front lines for animal liberation.

Operation Bite Back Part One

The Animal Liberation Front's, Operation Bite Back part I began in the early 90's and was directed mainly at fur research facilities and feed suppliers. Operation Bite Back Part II was from '95 and is still active while primarily focusing on fur farms.

Operation Bite Back started with the knowledge that mink are native to North America, and are not domesticated on fur farms. This knowledge was produced mainly from extensive research conducted by now-imprisoned A.L.F. activist Rod Coronado. Rod and others began this research in 1990 with the Coalition Against Fur Farms (CAFF) which rehabilitated 60 mink two bobcats, and two lynx from a closed fur farm.

This study showed that mink are able to hunt for food, reproduce, and successfully survive in their natural habitat-if given the chance. Animals on fur farms have little to no human contact except for when they are killed or vivisected. Anal electrocution, neck snapping, poisoning, suffocation and being skinned alive are all routine methods for killing the animals.

This allows for them to keep their natural instincts to survive in the wild, along with the fact they have only been imprisoned on fur farms for a few generations. Mink farms started in the 1900's, but most closed during World War I. so, it wasn't until the 1930's, that mink were taken out of the wild for breeding purposes.

Ecologically, mink and other natural predators fit nicely into the ecosystem that surround them. Most other predators have been decimated by humans, which leaves an opportunity for mink to assist in natural predator control.

Highlights of Operation Bite Back - Part I

The Malecky Mink Ranch processing plant closes from arson in 1991. Literally countless other actions help decimate the fur industry to near extinction. While this list represents some of the larger actions, it's important to remember that smaller actions against the fur industry took place across North America almost every week. The majority of actions includes locks glued, and messages etched on windows. These next actions show the high price the fur industry is made to pay for exploiting animals. Two animal abusers have been closed after effective A.L.F. actions.

June 10, 1991 - Corvalis, OR; Oregon State University Experimental Fur Farm, files & videotapes were removed, equipment destroyed and slogans spray painted on the walls. Timed incendiary devices were left in a supply barn, which ignited destroying one barn and damaging another. $150,000 damage. They are now CLOSED after this successful A.L.F. action.

June 15, 1991 - Edmonds, WA; Northwest Fur Farm Foods Co-operative the feed producer for fur farms across the Northwest is entered, slogans spray painted on walls and incendiary devices left. They ignited early in the morning causing over $1,000,000 in damage. They are now CLOSED after this successful A.L.F. action.

August 13, 1991 - Pullman, WA; Washington State University, Bustard Hall had two offices of Dr. John Gorham broken into [where files were removed. Computers, equipment, and files were destroyed with messages spray painted]. Also the USDA's Wildlife Biology Furbearer Research Facility was entered by cutting fences and padlocks, slogans were spray painted. Six mink, seven coyotes, and ten mice are liberated. $150,000 damage.

December 21, 1991 - Yamhill, OR; A timed incendiary device ignites at Malecky Mink Ranch processing plant causing extensive damage, closing it for good. $125,000 damage.

February 27, 1992 - East Lansing, MI; Michigan State University Experimental Fur Farm was broken into, two mink liberated and later released. The Anthony Hall office of Richard Aulerich was broken into, files were removed, slogans spray painted and an incendiary device was left which ignited. $200,000 damage.

October 24, 1992 - Logan, UT; USDA Predator Research Station, 29 coyotes released and one building set on fire. Slogans spray painted. $600,000 damage.

October 24, 1992 - Millville, UT; Head researcher Frederick Knowlton's office on campus is broken into, files taken and a incendiary devices left which ignite. $10,000 damage.

But this was only the beginning...
Operation Bite Back Part II was around the corner...

Operation Bite Back Part Two

Since the Animal Liberation Front's, Operation Bite Back part I concentrated on economic sabotage to the fur industry, part II focuses on large liberation's to rescue the animals themselves from imminent suffering. One of the first large liberation's occurred Nov. 14, 1995 in Aldergrove, British Columbia at Rippin Fur Farm where 5,000 mink were liberated. This spurred on similar large liberation's for 1996.

These massive liberation's provided all animals a chance at freedom, while financially devastating the fur farm. The entire stock of breeding animals is depleted, along with the animals actually killed for their coats that are literally running for their lives. Fur farmers will have to re-build their entire business by replacing the animals, rebuilding the facility after property has been destroyed and providing expensive security equipment and guards. Since the fur industry is declining so rapidly, often times these liberation's provide the financial loss necessary to close down the business permanently.

An example would be the Glen Kellow Fur Farm in Oregon. Six rabbits were liberated on Oct. 29, 1997. The fur farm in now closed. The Mac W. Ellis Fur Farm had 25 foxes released on Oct. 1994, and 30 foxes again released on Sep. 16, 1995. This fur farm in Tennessee is now closed. The Clarence Jordan Fur Farm in Olympia, Washington saw 400 mink liberated on Nov. 16, 1995 and once again is closed in 1996.

One fur farmer even acknowledged the effectiveness of A.L.F. actions in an article printed Aug. 28 in Wisconsin's Journal Sentinel:

Steve Frye of Frye's Fur Farm in Crystal Lake, Ill., said good breeding mink sell for $1,000 each. "When they (the Animal Liberation Front) hit my farm last October ('97), we estimated the loss at $600,000,"

Three thousand mink were liberated from Holt Mink Ranch in South Jordan, Utah. Utah has the most fur farms of any state in the U.S. with 125 fur farms. This explains the large number of actions against the fur trade, which take place in Utah.

Mink are considered to be the backbone of the industry, so activists continue to pour the majority of their energies into mink liberation. Ohio's Journey Mink Ranch had two liberation's starting August 12 with 2,500 mink freed followed by 8,000 mink released September 1996.

1997 saw an explosion of actions all over the U.S. A record 10,000 mink were liberated from Arritola Mink Farm May 30, 1997 in Mt. Angel, OR. This is the largest liberation in the U.S. to date, which received spectacular results for the animals. Instead of leaving behind thousands of animals slated to die, volunteers attempted to leave no victims behind.

Several releases of 5,000 mink took place within the month of October 1997. The first was Oct.5 in Illinois at Frye Mink Farm. This was closely followed in Idaho Oct. 6 at Palmer Mink Farm. Soon after Circle K Fur Farm in Iowa saw the 5,000 mink and 100 fox released.

October was a busy month all around since 3,000 mink were released from both Turbak Mink Farm in South Dakota, and Jack Dittrich Minkery in Wisconsin.

1998 is underway with 310 animals released from United Vaccines Experimental Fur Farm in Wisconsin to celebrate Independence Day. This was particularly crucial since United Vaccines is one of only two businesses producing vaccines which allow animals to remain alive just long enough to kill them for their fur coat.

The month of August 1998 has been particularly successful with five large liberations in only eleven days! A.L.F. volunteers are selecting clusters of fur farms in several Midwestern states. Minnesota has seen two liberations, Iowa has also had two liberation's and Wisconsin has had one. Both large fur farms with more than 13,000 animals are selected and smaller concentration camps with 4,000 animals.

The actions kicked off Aug. 18 with almost 4,000 animals (the entire supply) liberated from Charles Mueller's Fur Farm in Kimball, MN. Communiqués have been received for four of the five actions. Only two days later on Aug. 20, 330 foxes were liberated from Steve Hansel's Hidden Valley Fur Farm in Guttenberg, Iowa.

The communiqué stated the action was dedicated to the Chatham 3 from Michigan. Three activists are accused of liberating 1,500 mink from Ebert's Fur Farm in Ontario, Canada in April 1997. Breeding cards were also removed, with an estimated half a million dollars in The following day, Aug. 21, at Isebrands Fur Farm in Jewell, Iowa 3,000 mink were set free. A communiqué for each of the 3 raids has been received claiming full responsibility. The communiqué for Isebrands speaks directly to all of us:

"Let this raid be a call to action. It is time for all those who oppose needless suffering to start the attack. This is the third fur farm raid in the Midwest this week, let's make this only the beginning. By brick, boltcutters, or fire, this is the dawn of liberation,"

We are called to question our comfortable lifestyles as well: "Many will wear an A.L.F. T-shirt, but will not jeopardise their middle class lifestyle to end the suffering of others."

Security is described as "non-existent" and the raid itself is said to be a "simple low risk operation." The liberators are able to challenge each of us directly with the statement:

"The only things separating life from death for the mink in these dens of suffering are a latch on a cage and your own fear."

"Now is the time for activists who are unwilling to risk their freedom for the animals to question their own dedication and conviction..."

The fourth liberation on Aug. 27 at Bown's Mink Ranch had 3,000 mink liberated in Beloit, WI. A communiqué is yet to be received.

The fifth liberation at the Zumbro Fur Farm in Rochester, MN saw 3,000 mink released. Three roads in Northwest Rochester were closed to traffic, which will allow the mink more time to acclimate to their natural habitat.

The grand total of animals saved just in August comes to 13,000 mink, and 330 foxes.

Operation Bite Back continues...

Animal Rights Militia (ARM)

The Animal Rights Militia (ARM) first started in England over ten years ago, with a similar philosophy shared by The Justice Department. While supporting the Animal Liberation Front and other strategies, ARM believes that the Animal Liberation Front does not go far enough with regards to direct action. More effective victories can be achieved with poisoning hoaxes, and other such strategies.

Early victories began in the eighties with two successful destructions in San Jose, California. The first on Sep.1, 1987 in California cost $100,000 damage to the San Jose Valley Veal Inc. A paper products warehouse was burned down causing major financial loss.

The second action was even more costly, with $230,000 damage to Ferrara Meat Company on Nov.26, 1987. A barn containing hay and grain was destroyed.

One of the most famous actions carried out by ARM happened in England, 1984. The Mars Company had performed horrific tooth decay experiments on animals with no signs of stopping. By claiming to the media that Mars Bars, candy bars, had been poisoned, the company withdrew it's candy from the shelves which cost the company huge financial losses. ARM later acknowledged the poisoning was a hoax, but the company realised the potential for further actions and withdrew from animal experiments.

The success of this action shows that economic sabotage is a powerful, effective tool for animal liberationists. Anytime a company has its product tampered with, the potential injury to its customers is too potent to ignore. By understanding this fact, The Animal Rights Militia capitalised on this fear to directly save animals.

Since 1990, ARM has also been active in Canada. A similar action against a candy bar manufacturer took place Jan. 2, 1992. The animal experimentation involved in Cold Buster's development included rats being frozen, starved, and injected with drugs, including barbiturates. The inventor of Cold Buster, Larry Wang vivisector at the University of Alberta, was also part owner of the company that manufactured the bar. Sixteen years of animal research went into the development of the product.

Eighty-seven Cold Buster bars were said to be poisoned with oven cleaning fluid and returned to the store shelves for public consumption. Communiqués and samples of contaminated bars were sent to TV stations and newspapers. The economic damage inflicted to the company was enormous. There was an estimated more than $1 million cost to the manufacturer of this candy just from recalling the candy. Clearly this action was a strong message to other companies involved in vivisection, that they too could risk losing millions.

Two weeks later, ARM revealed that the poisoning was a hoax. As with the previous mentioned Mars Bar hoax, companies cannot take the risk that customers could be injured, so they are forced to recall merchandise that adds to profit losses. An additional victory for the animals was when the Canadian Department of Defence pulled their funding for the research.

On April 23, 1992, which is International Day for Laboratory Animals, ARM sent a strong message to a vivisector. The action happened in Vancouver, British Columbia at the home of vivisector Hans Fibiger. Fibiger, who is a University of British Columbia vivisector, had red paint splashed on his house and driveway. The word "scum" was written on the window along with an animal rights slogan on the driveway.

Another poisoning hoax was claimed by ARM on December 23, 1994 in Vancouver, British Columbia. ARM claimed to have injected turkey bodies with rat poison while randomly placing them in various Safeway and Save-On-Foods outlets in the Lower Mainland area. Samples were sent to media, but when tested by police, it was discovered the samples were not contaminated.

Since companies cannot take the risk that some merchandise is contaminated, an estimated $1 million worth of turkeys were removed from the shelves. Also, Health Canada was still involved in doing tests for some time after the hoax to investigate the condition of the turkeys. The supermarket's selling these turkeys and the Turkey Producers Co-op lost millions of dollars.

Other Animal Rights Militia actions in England include incendiary devices causing economic damage to animal abusers. Some examples include Aug. 10, 1994 where C.H. Brown's saddlery & leather shop, Madison and Westworld leather shops, Edinburgh Woolen Mill, and Nurse's fur store all had incendiary devices placed by ARM. Tens of thousands of dollars damage was caused to the saddlery shop. This is just one example of how successful ARM has been.

Another example is Aug. 24, 1994 when over $4,000,000 damage was done with four incendiary devices placed at Sports and Model Shop (selling leather goods), Suede and Leather Shop, and the Cancer Research Fund Shop. Scotties fishing tackle shop also had devices placed along with Boots the Chemist. There was a long-standing campaign against Boots for supporting animal testing.

Even subsidiaries of Boots were targeted, such as the placing of incendiary devices in Fads DIY on Sep. 16, 1994. Two Boots branches were also targeted in this action along with Linsley Brother bloodsports shop, and Imperial Cancer Research Foundation shop. Another $4,000,000 in damages. After so many attacks of economic sabotage, Boots finally sold off its pharmaceutical division to avoid further actions by animal rights activists.

Along with economic sabotage, ARM has been especially effective in Sweden with live liberation of animals. Activists in Uppsala on January 15, 1998, raided labs belonging to Bio Jet Servive. They rescued 92 guinea pigs. Several of the females were pregnant, so an estimated 120 guinea pigs were rescued. What makes this action so especially effective is that the breeder, Gothe Olofsson, is a vivisector himself at Uppsala University. He reportedly has said he will not replace the guinea pigs, but will instead give up the trade.

Since it's inception, ARM has proven the effectiveness of direct action when used against animal abusers. Repeatedly, their actions have been strategic and disabling to those who profit from animal suffering.

The Justice Department

The early days of the animal rights/liberation movement are marked by the thoughts and actions of a few brave people not content to patiently wait for society to acknowledge that animals deserve freedom from exploitation. These people were willing to make great personal sacrifices, and for the first time, utilised a combination of economic sabotage and live animal liberation. The A.L.F., through these actions has achieved what other methods have not, while still adhering to non-violence.

The Justice Department first became active in 1993 (sending devices to bloodsports supporters in October of that year) around the conviction that animal abusers had been warned enough times, and that animals had suffered long enough. That it was time that animal abusers had but a taste of the fear and anguish their victims suffer on a daily basis.

The Justice Department is in full support of the A.L.F. in their choice to use non-violent direct action. However, they see another path open to directly change the fate of animals slated to die. That path involves removing any barriers between legal and illegal, violent and non-violent. As convicted Justice Department activist, Gurj Aujla, explains, "I think we need to all ask ourselves what works, and then go from there, let's not start from a position that violence is wrong, or law-breaking is wrong. Let's just honestly examine what works. These examples clearly prove that the Justice Department does work..."

Some of the following case studies show the effectiveness of the actions as well as the positive outcomes that have followed. It is important to remember that this is not a comprehensive list of actions, but instead a broad range of examples that have become hallmarks of Justice Department activity.

The 'live exports' trade in England has seen active campaigning for about forty years during which things have only got worse. The Justice Department sent a total of six letter bombs in June 1994 to companies involved in live exports, including the major cross-channel ferry company that exported live animals to mainland Europe. Three weeks after this action, all major ferry companies withdrew from the live export trade.

Gurj Aujla who pleaded guilty for sending the above devices continues; "This wasn't token protest, or mindless retribution, or even economic sabotage...it was strategic action. I researched that the meat trade is massive and can't be easily beaten, but live export is one vulnerable aspect of that trade that could be defeated. Furthermore, the ferry companies are not primary animal abusers, they could exist perfectly well without live exports, so hit them and they will withdraw-and they did."

Some people might be thinking that if anyone were convicted for this action, the sentence would be astronomical. Not so - Gurj Aujla was convicted and sentenced to only six years, with three years and three months actually served. Considering some longer sentences given out for A.L.F. actions, this is a relatively short prison sentence for such a significant result.

The Justice Department in Canada began a campaign against hunting guide outfitters across B.C. and Alberta starting January 1996. 65 envelopes with rat poison-covered razor blades taped inside the opening edge were sent to these hunting guides. The success of this campaign can be measured with the following sentence; David Fyfe, a Vancouver Island big-game guide outfitter, has stopped abusing animals after receiving the devices.

Also in 1996, another Canadian campaign against furriers saw the sending of 87 envelopes containing razor blades allegedly tainted with AIDS-infected blood to fur retailers across the country.

The first Justice Department in the U.S. occurred November 17, 1997 on the East Coast. This was a hoax similar to the more famous Animal Rights Militia hoaxes in which supermarket turkeys were allegedly contaminated with a toxic substance. The turkey bodies were then supposedly placed on shelves in Acme Shoprite, Superfresh, Pathmark Food, and Stop 'N Shop.

The most recent actions in the U.S. occurred in September and October of 1999 and again involved envelopes booby-trapped with razor blades. The first of these actions targeted the fur industry and were claimed by the Anti-Fur Task Force of the Justice Department. In this action, over one hundred razor blade envelopes were sent to fur farmers and fur trade representatives in North America. Fur farmers with farms previously liberated and still sticking to the business were randomly sent razor blades coated in rat poison. Included in these envelopes was a warning to those in the fur industry that they have until autumn of 2000 to quit the fur industry, as well as a diagram of a viable poster tube mail bomb device. In October, the Justice Department struck again with the sending of 88 razor blade laced envelopes to members of the vivisection industry who 'experiment' on non-human primates. Specifically targeted were those from Regional Primate Centers across the U.S. Included was a note warning the targets that they have until autumn of 2000 to quit the vivisection industry.

Why do some animal rights activists believe that these tactics are neccessary? In many ways, the same rationale that makes economic sabotage so successful applies to Justice Department actions. Since money is the main motivator for abusers, it is logical to decrease profits for them. The same logic explains that inconveniencing an abuser to a certain point will force them to withdraw from that particular line of abuse.

At a time when people are progressing to successful strategies to bring about animal liberation, Justice Department activists have shown that they are willing to sacrifice their own liberation for this goal. Felony charges and long prison sentences do not deter them from breaking the law to free their fellow animals. Instead, they have become more prepared, professional, and adept at breaking the very laws that hold animals captive.

Earth Liberation Front (ELF)

The Earth Liberation Front is an international underground organisation consisting of autonomous groups of people who carry out direct action according to the E.L.F. guidelines.

The E.L.F operates in groups called cells that may consist of one to many individuals working together. Each cell is anonymous not only to the public but also to one another. This secure structure helps to keep activists out of jail and free to continue conducting actions.

As the E.L.F. structure is non-hierarchical, individuals involved in the action control their own destinies. There is not a centralised organisation or membership to speak of in the E.L.F. so individuals are driven only by their personal conscience or cell decisions to carry out actions.

Individuals involved in E.L.F. activity are unknown to the public and therefore it could be anyone. In your local community, parents, teachers, church volunteers, your neighbour, the mayor, or even your spouse could be involved. No one is immune from the exploitation and destruction of the environment that all species, including humans, cohabitate in.

Any action that adheres to the strict non-violence guidelines, listed below, can be considered an E.L.F. action. Economic sabotage and property destruction is considered E.L.F. actions. Volunteers carry out actions around the world to stop the continued destruction of the natural environment.

There is no way to contact the E.L.F. in your area, so it is up to each and every one of us to take responsibility ourselves to stop the exploitation of the natural world. No longer can it be assumed that someone else is going to do it. Each of us must get involved and stay active.

Earth Liberation Front Guidelines:

To inflict economic damage to those who profit from the destruction and exploitation of the natural environment.

To reveal and educate the public on the atrocities committed against the environment and all the species that cohabitate in it.

To take all necessary precautions against harming any animal, human and non-human.
