Liberated boar 22/12/2005
100 wild boar liberated
In an action covered by BBC News and the Western Daily Press, our ALF group liberated 100 wild boar from a meat farm just outside Molland, near Barstable in North Devon, at 2:00am, on Thusday December 22nd 2005.
This was the second time the Animal Liberation Front has targeted the farm and released the boar to a new life of freedom. The farmer, Alan Dedames has stated that 500 metres of fencing was cut down and all of "his" boar escaped.
Mr Dedames, with the help of local police, spent hours attempting to round up the boar but only managed to re-capture a handfull, the others are said to of bolted and scatered, wreaking havoc around the countrside!

There is a possibilty that the increasing otter population might help to keep down the numbers of these aggressive little critters;The mink population has declined in some areas of Southern England ( and out of control in others)where we have sen an increase in otter population though there may be other factors.
Anyway here's a nice link...

They have been known to cause crop damage - but a lot of things damage the countryside ( planet -wide) - pesticides, cash-crop-culture, motorways, large corporations, rich fucking landowners and the consumer nation state.
We can live and work with nature or die like fat sweaty shoppers.

Boars were traditionally hunted because they were rumoured to attack children.

Well done, you cretins

So you picked the wrong target. (Presumably you couldn't be bothered to find a factory farm.)
Fact 2: Most of the boars will now end up dead. Shot cleanly with any luck, but dead. Some may be darted and trapped, but with the numbers involved the Police won't be taking any chances. (Some will inevitably be injured and before dying painfully somewhere will be very pissed off indeed. With any luck it'll be an ALF goon who stumbles over an injured 200lb boar in a covert, and not an innocent dog walker)
So their 'new life of freedom' will be short and stressful.
Fact 3: Many of the breeding sows will be in pig at this time of year, and/or with young at foot, so they'll be particularly nervous and/or defensive. As they'll be kept on the move most or all of these young will be miscarried, lost (& therefore starved to death) or killed by other stressed boars.
So you'll probably have killed more animals than you thought.
Fact 4: This was a monumentally stupid stunt that will cause only suffering to the boars.
Don't you people have functioning brains ?

Yes, boar were once indigenous but now they have released full grown adults immediately into the wild, great idea guys.
I live in Sussex and my little girl was attacked and killed by a boar, this is not however my reason for this reply. That was simply a wrong place and wrong time event.
However, these animals are incredibly dangerous and should be contained.
The ALF is the most ridiculous organisation around.
Animal liberation is simply a fin de siecle joke.

the ALF strikes again!

Those animals deserve freedom, sure some may be captured and killed - that is inevitable, however atleast some will hopefully escape... If left in captivity they will face one end - death - not even having a chance.
We cannot allow animals to be wiped out simply because they may be dangerous - imagine the catastrophe that would happen, we'd almost have no animals.
I live in france, where we have wild boar and they are a pleasant addition to our country. They have never showed acts of danger to us, sure they come into our garden to root out vegetables but if we go down, they run away!
The ALF are intelligent, they are the ones who risk their freedom doing what is right. 100 wild boar will never devistate the UK... even if they did manage to repopulate the country... They would be a bonus to the land, turning the soil etc...
That's the way it should be!

Here is a simple question to you ALF supporters. I you belive that animals arer exploited by man and that all animals are equal, why oh why do you target farmed wild boar and deer to liberate rather than pigs and sheep??
ALF now nothing about what animals want and need, they just think they know and are stupid enought to act on their emotions rather than thinking things through. You guys are pathetic.

The ALF have rescued and freed other individual mammals and birds from confinement,abuse and penciled in- death,the only destroyer of the envioronment is US-self proclaimed Humanity or unhumanity but that is called DEVELOPMENT.
It is interesting how verbal ponces and visual invisibles like Locke and peter obediently obsorb uncritically whatever the mainstream newspaper and tv media present to them and accept the anthprocentric opinion intellectually impyled as fact.

Have they any idea the damage boar can do? If they had they would not release them. Boar destroy everything! I have photos to prove it. Walls, paths, grass, trees and hedgrows all TOTALLY and utterly destroyed.
Only the ignorant would release boar.
Get wise please
