What is the relationship between the ALF and the Animal Rights movement as a whole? Isn the ALF harmful to the movement and don they alienate public support?
Some members of the animal rights community support the ALF, and others do not. Many believe a wide variety of tactics are necessary to win animal liberation, as so many other struggles for liberation have demonstrated. The ALF seem to care not about what other activists or the public think about them, but what the animals would and do think, as they are liberated from their prisons of torture, suffering and certain death. Think about it: If you were locked in a cage your whole life, taken out only to be injected with poison or to be skinned for your fur, what would you want people to be doing about it? Working on legislation for years, writing kind letters to their congressman, or getting you the hell out of that prison?
