ANIMAL LIBERATION FRONT

This group aims to end the “property” status of animals. They don’t believe that animals should be considered as property, instead as their own independent being. They think that animals have their own feelings and that people will eventually come to realize this through their organization and efforts. They participate in removing animals from laboratories and farms, destroying facilities, arranging safe houses and veterinary care, and operating sanctuaries where the animals live out the rest of their lives. They say that they are not terrorists because they haven’t harmed a single human life. The AFL is so hard to catch because it is composed of single people or a few people in each group. Any person who is a vegan or vegetarian and participates in AFL activities is considered a part of the AFL. For example the AFL raided the University of California, Riverside, and caused $700,000 in damage and removed over 400 animals from tested. The University lost years of medical research and had to shut down.
