Animal Liberation Front (ALF): Animal Rights Website Review

Animal Liberation Front operates a large and well designed website. It is full of information and free resources for animal rights activists. The ALF website has a database with all the animal rights news from the regular media from 2001 immediately available. They have an extensive collection of recommended animal rights literature and authors. They have slideshows, photos and a large forum to interact and learn from others that support animal rights. In addition, they explain the philosophy of the Animal Liberation Front in complete detail.

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.

5. To analyze the ramifications of all proposed actions, and never apply generalizations when specific information is available.

Many of the Animal Liberation Front activities are non-confrontational in nature. They involve encouraging veganism and the boycott of all animal products. They spend time performing e-mail campaigns against companies that are hurting animals, signing petitions and participating in public protests. They do not advocate physical violence against humans, and no person has ever been injured or killed by Animal Liberation Front.
