Property destruction is a legitimate political tool called economic sabotage, and it’s meant to attack businesses and corporations.
So-called activists who talk to the police disgust me, and I think one of the major reasons the animal liberation movement has not made more significant gains is because many activists do not understand the revolutionary nature of this movement. We’re fighting a major war, defending animals and our very planet from human greed and destruction. There is no room for collaborators.
Setting fire to the feed truck falls within the work they [the ALF] do. It was most likely done in an effort to cause the most damage possible to the farm without hurting anyone or any animals. What these farmers do to chickens is terrorism — what we do is not.
I am convinced that we can shut down a lot of these animal abuse industries whether the public agrees with it or not. And whether these industries are shut down by violent or non-violent acts in the end, to me, doesn’t really matter.
