Product Description

Synopsis

The first anthology of writings on the history, ethics, politics and tactics of the Animal Liberation Front. Terrorists Or Freedom Fighters? features both academic and activist perspectives and offers powerful insights into this international organisation and its position within the animal right movement. Calling on sources as venerable as Thomas Aquinas and as current as the patriot act - and, in some cases, personal experience - the contributors explore the history of civil disobedience and sabotage, and examine the philosophical and cultural meanings of words like 'terrorism', 'democracy' and 'freedom', in a book that ultimately challenges the values and assumptions that pervade our culture. Contributors include Robin Webb, Rod Coronado, Ingrid Newkirk, Paul Watson, Karen Davies, Bruce Friedrich and others.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have any thoughts on animal liberation read this book, 19 Jan 2005
By C. Haynes (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is not a novel on the struggle of an animal liberationist, it's a collection of essays and published stories collated by two very strong people in this field.

The book introduces the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), why they started, why they employ the methods they do, and why they still exist today. The ALF are always seen in the media as 'terrorists', but this is far from the truth, and it's the reason I bought the book in the first place - I wanted to challenge the media's portrayal of the ALF.

The essays elegantly explain the animal liberation movement, from its beginnings, its links with feminism, and how the governments of the world (specifically the USA and UK) are re-defining the word 'terrorist' to apply it to animal liberationists. To call anyone saving animals from a life of torture, a 'terrorist', serves only to blur the line between saving life and taking life. This is not a fine line. 9/11 was terrorism. Breaking a few locks (and leaving new replacements!) and taking animals to loving homes, is not.

The later part of the book goes into some depth on the USA's Patriot Act (and Patriot Act II) and the repercussions it has on freedom of speech and movement.

I was very pleased with this book. I have an interest in animal liberation, and this book told me a lot of what I didn't know, and the reasons why we all should work towards freeing the innocent from those who profit from torture, pain, suffering and death.
