Over thirty years ago the ALF exposed the horrors of vivisection when it expropriated sixty hours of audio- and videotape of footage shot by researchers inside the University of Pennsylvania’s Head Injury Clinic in Philadelphia. The footage, released as a 26 minute film produced by PETA called “Unnecessary Fuss,” shows the researchers mocking and laughing …

But while the Animal Liberation community may not have the state’s resources at their disposal, we boast our very own establishment dedicated to maintaining …

Filoso texto de “Chahta-Ima”, afirmando su sólido posicionamiento eco-extremista, y criticando duramente la moral cristiana de los radicales politicamente correctos que se oponen a la violencia indiscriminada. Merely being an eco-extremist propagandist, I am forced to pay attention to reactions of anarchist and leftist readers to the actions of ITS and other eco-extremist groups. The …

Enyo In a brilliant article published last month, Roland Vincent writes “direct action by animal rights activists has been sporadic, unfocused, and ineffective.” At War wholly agrees with this premise. Essentially this piece articulates how the fascist corporatocracy in which we fight, the manifestation of capitalism run amuck, exists to profit from the slave state. …

by Roland Vincent By definition, terrorism is violence against the innocent. Terrorist organizations hope to influence the actions of governments by paralyzing populaces with fear and uncertainty. We see these tactics employed by jihadist Muslims, right wing hate groups, and radical separatists. Government response, predictably, is repression and fascist legislation. Voices of reason and of …

From atwarforanimals.com There are only two ways to help animals — either liberate the victims, or stop their abusers. Period. Between those two poles, there is a spectrum of industry nonsense that serves to provide activists with a social outlet or, far more insidious, garner donations and accolades for those complicit in the holocaust.

Police said the blaze caused no injuries. For a while now, I’ve counseled animalists against this sort of illegality, advocated by …

In particular, the issue before us was whether a pro-life or pro-animal-rights activist could, logically and ethically, utilize violent methods for protecting vulnerable victims (animals and fetuses) from third-party violence. In this column, I take …

By Jon Hochschartner God, I miss Steven Best. Does anyone else in the animalist movement ever feel that way? A long-time, unapologetic voice for non-humans, Best has gone quiet after a few unimaginably difficult years embroiled in a bitter public spat with a former comrade, against whom he eventually was forced to take out a restraining order. Last …
