Animal Liberation Front (ALF)

The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) is a decentralized activist organization that advocates for animal rights through direct action. Members typically aim to end animal suffering by exposing and dismantling industries like factory farming, research laboratories, and fur trade. ALF often uses clandestine methods, such as breaking into facilities and freeing animals or sabotaging equipment, viewing these acts as necessary to challenge animal exploitation. While their actions are controversial and sometimes illegal, ALF maintains they are motivated by a desire to promote compassion and raise awareness about animal cruelty.
