So we recognised a little problem (if you can really call it that) within the animal rights movement as activists continue to argue and disagree over what forms of activism are most or more effective.

This is called the Direct Action vs. Outreach debate, which is known throughout the broader revolution by compassionate individuals looking for real change. A solution to this is ALF Outreach, taking direct action primarily to educate others about the atrocities and crimes towards the non-human animals on this earth.

Since understanding that an undeclared war against innocent individuals is currently taking place, we knew we had to take action. Our cell demonstrated our commitment in the last few months by stenciling 'animal liberation' over 40 times on walls, bollards, pillars, electricity pylons, water meters & carparks. Identical tagging years ago inspired our activity.

This is dedicated to 90% of the public who continue to consume graveyard food and to the badger who caught us off guard recently, the only individual who has.

Here is a tip for those who have spent a lot of effort to remove our work. It takes far less time for us to tag than it does for you to clean up after us. The bottom line is we will be back to replace our work time and time again and that this is a much larger battle that you are not prepared for. Just remember that you own the paths and streets just as much as we do, we claim the right to decorate because nobody else has. Whether its animals in battery farms or those starving in poverty, veganism is the solution for the forthcoming revolution. Until all are free!

Want to join in? Get your stencils from  http://www.animalrightsmerchandise.com, they are only £1.50 and can be shipped worldwide. A message for the police: you can raid their offices, but we'll just double our actions to support them.

Tagging the state and reclaiming the streets,

ALF Outreach-South West

A perfect example of what is wrong with the animal liberation movement in the UK at the moment. At the once extreme we have the violent nutters who think that releasing mink into the countryside is 'liberation' and at the other extreme fools like this who see concentrated graffiti as somehow getting the message out to the wider population. Neither of these work, both are counter productive.

We have seen massive hits to the movement recently with all the arrests and revelations about the amount of police infiltrators, without doubt this has weakened us but we must look to the tactics which worked in the past, engaging with the public, exposing the reality of animals lives in research centres and medical facilities and telling the truth about medical research. We need to do this by public information stalls and before somebody posts a response telling me that we need to do all of these things plus the above I must say, "No we don't". I have personal experience of individuals who support animal liberation but will not get involved in the movement because of what they regard as the extremist element. A good example is my mother and my aunt !

The office raid is a good idea but we will wait a bit to ensure that we get a good customer list!

"The office raid is a good idea but we will wait a bit to ensure that we get a good customer list!"

Weird comment! There offices got raided recently, which was only one of many times its happened in the last few years. So no wait there. Obviously no good customer list anyway, since it only covers probably 50% if that all total sales. I've personally sold douzens of the stencils to people I don't know the name of at stalls etc! What about them?! There has been stenciling for YEARS. Wake up silly.....activists don't believe in that "fear shit".

Since 1976 - Love live the ALF!
