BE THE ANIMAL LIBERATION FRONT.


the new shirts are up. Girl style shirts come in white and asphalt grey.

The guy normal t shirts come in grey


From rows of cages
Desperate eyes stare
Aching for release
Consumed by fear and desolation

A state of constant misery
Pain with no end in sight
A fading dream of termination

It’s time / Right now
To put an end to this farce
That masquerades as science
Strike hard / Strike fast
Under the cover of night
Act now and break the silence

A world of pharmaceuticals
To justify their greed
A crass pursuit of corporate funding

A pseudo-science bought and sold
All with a failure rate
Of 92% and climbing

Break in / Break out
And to ensure there’s no doubt
You’ve stopped the mutilation
Burn up / Burn down
Burn it down to the ground
End profit motivation

Since 1976 the Animal Liberation Front has carried out non-violent direct action
around the world, targeting those who exploit, abuse and murder animals. Tactics range from simple vandalism to property destruction, economic sabotage and live liberations. Any group of people who are vegetarians or vegans and who carry out actions according to ALF guidelines have the right to regard themselves as part of the ALF.

In service of a better world
Mere words are not enough
To bring an end to exploitation
It’s up to you to do what’s right
The animals demand their liberation

If not you, who? – you’re the ALF
If not now, when? – you’re the ALF
It’s just a question of time – you’re the ALF
We always win – you’re the ALF – Anima Mundi

Two LA animal rights activists are currently in jail after a raid of their Pasadena home. The charges do not appear to be activist related, but they are serious. We can always expect there is a political vendetta behind non-political charges of activists, and that we can never fully draw the line between what is an “activist related charge” and what is not when long standing AR activists are charged with non-AR charges. Lets not forget the charges against Rod Coronado for possession of eagle feathers, the 18 month sentence for a UT activist for giving incorrect information on a firearm purchase application. these countless and ridiculous false arrests and illegal house raids cannot go unnoticed or overlooked

Please support these two activists facing serious felony charges in the following two ways:

1) Laura Lungarelli is being denied vegan food. Please call the jail and ask they provide her with vegan food immediately. She is being mistakenly held under the name “Maura Lungarelli”, it should be mentioned her name is Laura but that she is being held under “Maura”:

Laura/Maura Lungarelli
LAPD Valley Jail
818.374.9645
877.275.5273

2) Kevin Olliff is soon to be transferred to LA County’s Twin Towers facility. This is known by many as the worst jail in the country. Until we know his food situation, please send him books. Jail is psychological torture without them.

Books must be sent from a bookstore or publisher to the following address:
Kevin Olliff
#1167029
PO Box 86164
Terminal Annex
Los Angeles CA 90086

support the jailed, -vT
