HUNTING SCHOOL PAINTED, CARS VANDALIZED (Germany)
ACTIONS AGAINST FISHING AND LEATHER (Germany)
"When Kingston Communications isn’t busy running corporate and business monopolies it seems to enjoy providing services for Bantin & Kingman Universal. A scummy breeder that supplies animals including dogs, mice, rats, and primates to hell holes like Huntingdon Life Sciences and Covance.
If you profit from contracts that involve blood money we are forced to take the profit motive out of the equation. This time it was just paint and permanent markers on your lovely cream coloured phone boxes KC, next time we’ll smash and torch them.
This is a warning to anyone who deals with B&K, HLS or Covance! Cut your contracts or we’ll cut them for you.

"On Easter Sunday 2008, we prepared a very special Easter treat in Wunsiedel, where (along with the cities of Amerdingen and Feldkirchen) one of the three major hunting schools of the Bayerischen Jagdverbandes (Bavarian Hunting Association) is located; where prospective animal murderers learn their bloody craft and also are brainwashed with the related ethical and ecological lies. Not only in the woods and fields is our anger over the cowardly murder of innocent individuals felt, but now during training! We threw bags of red paint at the entrance to the "training center" and also punctured six tires on two cars parked at the hunting school. We will no longer stand idly by while animals are mutilated, tortured and murdered in cold blood; in this war we will stand on the side of the helpless and persecuted. Against the mass terror of the hunters!

"During the night of March 2, 2008, two large billboards for an angling fair were made unreadable with spray-paint-- anglers are murderers.
In the early morning of Saturday, March 8 the leather shop Melissa in Heuwinkel was heavily sprayed with butyric acid."

Leather..

If this is the case then it would be unethical not to use the leather for clothing and the various other uses that our ancestors used animal skins for. In this age when we will at some point have to stop using polluting plastics, surely using a by product of dead animals isn't such a bad thing.
The human race isn't going to become vegetarian overnight and actually probably never, as humans kind of have a desire for free will.
I think that it would be good if animals were treated with respect and I personally wouldn't inflict pain onto any creature.
Peace to all creatures on this planet..

Isn't leather a by product of the killing of animals?

But angling isnt murder & spraying against makes us look daft, many fish are put back, you can argue its torture. Personally I think small scale fishing of naturally free + well numbered species isn't that bad, though u can get better epa,dha,omega 6 from spirullina & microalgae.

You can keep your opinions to yourself on the idea that killing a fish isn't murder, but I advice you to see a dictionary for the word animal, and possibly research a bit more deeply into the subject. Possibly also murder, which is the intention act to end someones life, which is what fishing is about. Maybe you didn't hear but since the 21st century, governments, scientists and society as a whole have accepted that fish feel pain, why it has taken so long who knows! Maybe we should ask the people who denied that animals felt pain in the early 20th century, or that blacks weren't human in the same time period...
P.S - It's also cruel to to pierce your childs mouth, attach a ring, and then pull when you want your child to come closer, in the same way it is to catch a fish. But as someone who is one of us - you probably already know that! Cos animal rights means equality for all.

Sad slide into violence

Thats the position they seem to be heading for with each battle cry justifying the latest violence.
How long before someone selling a newspaper to a lab worker ends up dead for "aiding" in the torture of animals? After all anyone seen as helping such a company is a viable target these days.
If you can't make an argument without having to force your views then you didn't have an argument in the first place.

All of which is a far cry from respecting the environment and sustainability and crop rotation and biodiversity, etc.
Equal rights for fish. Yeah, right!

Not the point

In response to the first poster, an animal's skin actually adds considerable value to the carcass. I'm not sure of the exact percentage, but buying leather new unequivocally supports the meat industry. No one is saying the human race is going to become vegetarian overnight; that's an impossibility. Veg*nism isn't some moral crusade to convert everybody, despite what the loonies at PETA may tell you. It's a personal decision which people make for various reasons. Some choose to take direct action, some choose to enjoy their mung beans in a nice dahl instead. The idea is to provide people with information about what's really happening behind the walls and closed doors, to challenge the anthropocentrism that is so worryingly prevalent. No one is advocating equal rights for animals in the sense that they should be able to vote or owt ridiculous like that; we mean equal rights in the sense that, as fellow animals, they shouldn't be tortured unnecessarily. Not too much to ask, surely? Also, mega lulz at someone with a name like "Environmentalist" who, I presume, eats meat. Not a personal attack, you understand, just funny.
The ALF's greatest strength, and possibly its greatest weakness, is its completely non-hierarchical, clandestine nature. Thousands of activists may believe that (relatively) NVDA is the way to go, yet all that is needed is one loony with a nail bomb doing something stupid and everyone who acts under the banner of the ALF, and indeed the entire animal lib movement, falls into disrepute and are branded as terrorists. Needless to say, killing in the name of life is rather silly. For every blown-up vivisector, another will take their place, albeit reluctantly. Systems are made of people, but simply killing those people isn't gonna do owt in the long run. I reckon anyway.
Ho hum.

I would advise you to the read the ALF credo for yourself which can be found here:
In particular I would like to draw your attention to the following: 4. TO take all necessary precautions against harming any animal, human and non-human.
The ALF does not kill people, end of story. If someone does not follow the credo and harms a life be it animal or human then they are not acting in the interests of the ALF. There is no ifs or buts, the ALF does not have a membership and actions can only be claimed as ALF if they follow the credo.

human animal
Why there's no such thing as "happy" meat
08.04.2008 17:04
But I digress. When it comes to free range products and "humanely slaughtered" animals I can't help but ask why people don't take it that one step further and wonder why they eat meat at all. It obviously causes pain and distress to billions of animals no matter what way you look at it, is horrendously wasteful and damaging to the environment, and comes with increase risk of heart disease among others. The fact that an animal has been kept in decent conditions up until its death doesn't change the morality of killing it. Reminds me of summat a certain Glaswegian politician once said about going to a gas chamber in a limosine...
The case of the farm in Cornwall you mentioned is still, in my eyes at least, immoral. I feel the unnecessary killing of any animal is wrong and although this has been horribly augmented by global capitalism, it's still wrong on a small scale IMO. However you also mentioned that they were "threatened with excommunication", which I certainly don't agree with. Veg*nism shouldn't be some special purity club with the rotten evil meat-eaters cast out from our midst. And certainly not from collectives where one's dietary choice doesn't actually have owt to do with their work, though I can understand eyebrows being raised if you were to sit munching through a steak bake at an ALF meeting. :P

"just a bunch of facists"....spelt fascism...
08.04.2008 18:45
You can have your opinion, but like those who said that women weren't worthy, children were retarded and blacks weren't human....saying a fish isn't an animal is stemming from the same tree - ignorance! Surely it should be ever so simple to notice?
P.S - People should just get over it, vegetarianism is increasing (now 10% in the UK), was 5% only 4/5 years ago, so it's doubled since then. That's no "AR statistics", that's quoting HardTalk with Keith Mann in June 2007. Some countries are as high as 15-20%...
Do I really need to do this?
Fish are aquatic vertebrates; Vertebrates are one of the two (main) categories of animals; those who have back bones and those who don't. To check I'm being serious, have a feel on your back and you'll notice something similar about your biological features, to those of fish.

What do you eat that doesn't involve killing something?
Oh wait, its ok to kill plants because... erm well thats what you eat and you need to eat something?
Unless you eat only fruit you don't have any moral high ground over a meat eater.
Its like the argument that you shouldn't eat meat unless you kill it yourself. Should people only use indoor plumbing if they are willing work down the local sewage plant?
If you think eating animals is wrong then by all means be vegan or veggie. Just don't force others to comply with your views.

Cow and apple... same thing, apparently

The difference between plants and animals is that plants don't have a nervous system and therefore cannot feel pain. Animals clearly can, as anyone who has ever watched slaughterhouse footage or witnessed animal cruelty firsthand can testify to. Assuming folk have stopped taking Descartes' word as gospel, that is.
"Its like the argument that you shouldn't eat meat unless you kill it yourself. Should people only use indoor plumbing if they are willing work down the local sewage plant?"
I think you've misunderstood the argument. The point is to try and highlight how the vast majority of people who eat meat don't particularly enjoy animal slaughter and would probably be reluctant to tackle, say, a cow with a knife themselves. Out of sight, out of mind, aye? God forbid folk think about how the piece of meat actually got onto their plate. And if people disapprove of the methods used to get that piece of meat onto their plate, why are they supporting the industry at all?

Ah, so thats all it takes for you to be happy about meat eating
09.04.2008 20:47
Cool, you your happy with people eating meat provided the animal doesn't suffer when its killed.
Nice one.
I agree with you for what its worth.

There really is no logic in eating children despite what meat eaters tell you!
10.04.2008 03:04
Seriously....nobody is with you on this one! It's the concept of "right to a life", this is why we don't eat our fellow species, and shouldn't eat others.
Stop justifying things that are really sick....this really isn't the place...

Nope, and I never said I was. I was pointing out the reason why I'm morally OK with eating plants but not animals. There are a lot of reasons why I choose not to eat animals, the inherent cruelty and suffering involved being just one of them.
