POLICE are investigating three targeted attacks at restaurants and farms in South Lakeland which they believe are the work of animal rights extremists.

The attacks which included causing criminal damage to vehicles and buildings at Sillfield Farm in Gatebeck, Westmorland County Showground at Endmoor and L'enclume restaurant in Cartmel took place overnight on Thursday.

A police spokesman said a total of eight vehicles were damaged in the attacks.

A spokesman at Sillfield farm, which is famous for its stocks of wild boar, said that a number of vehicles had their tyres slashed and were daubed with slogans relating to animal rights such as "No Boar."

Sillfield Farm was targeted by animal rights activists, who damaged property and set a number of wild boars free, in April this year.

Cumbria police has notified the counter terrorism unit which routinely investigates incidents of animal extremism.

received anonymously, May 24th 2007:

"In the early hours Peter Gott's Sillfield Boar farm situated near Kendal, in North West England received a visit from the Animal Liberation Front. The fencing was cut around the woodland and gates opened. The friendly boar roamed off. The rare breed pigs were also released along with other boar situated in the barn and holding areas. The tyres on an animal transporter were also attended to.

Dedicated in memory of Jill Phipps, may all roam free,

ALF"

And there has been one arrest already - never mind it all for the cause.

Seems fairly pointless and counter productive. With this kind of stunt why would anyone take ALF seriously?

you go around breaking windows of butcher shops and threatening to attack any individual who refuses to go vegan?

I'm well aware that the corporate meat industry is a bitch but it seems that from what I read on here that a lot of "animal rights" people do not want anyone to eat meat AT ALL, and I personally have no problem with continuing a practice which humans have participated since their evolution (albeit at much lower volumes than today).

Forcing your agenda onto others... that reminds me of a certain man who was very prominent in Germany in the 30s and 40s... and we all know what happened there...

"liberal scumbag" and proud
