As the government prepares to load the guns and exterminate up to one third of the country's badger population the Animal Liberation Front are set to turn up the heat

September 17, 2012 in News

communique received:

“Sainsbury’s say they have a biodiversity commitment, we know that that is a greenwash scam. Sainsbury’s are happy to sell milk from farmers who kill badgers.

The day the badgers start getting shot will be the same day that Sainsbury’s cash points will be attacked.

Using credit card style gift vouchers and reward cards that have been stolen and kept free of dna, they will be covered in super glue and pushed into your machines.

This was done to over 100 Natwest cashpoints in 1999, each machine cost back then over £6,000 to fix. No one was convicted.

YOU KILL THE BADGERS, WE KILL THE MACHINES.”

Wouldn't you've kept this less-publicised if you were going to do potentially arrest-able actions?

It's like telling people there's going to be cake before you put the cake out.

"The government hopes it is the first of many licences and that the death of an estimated 100,000 badgers will curb TB in cattle"

If you feel like wasting 30 minutes of your life go and check the so called actions that Biteback put on their website. At least half are total fiction because they just accept any communication as being true and post it up.

As I and many others have said the ALF is dead.

Biteback is not a reliable source of details for the true state of the current AR movement in Britain. Most of the posts are to be blunt fantasy and about 75 % of them come from one person.

People who really want to be involved with AR work are probably best advised to join a hunt sabbing group who provide an excellent route to committed people who actually do things that help animals and can introduce you to others who are involved with more spikey work if that's your thing. In my experience what would be called 'ALF' actions are very rarely posted on the internet as people are very aware of their security.

I don't think the ALF are concerned with 'rights' somehow more concerned with total liberation/economic damage. The reports on biteback? Who's to say?

They might be free from DNA until you put super glue fingerprints on them and bits of your skin. Unless of cause you wear surgical gloves. I won't be engaging in these actions, but I will be waring surgical gloves in solidarity.
