Animal Liberation Front

The ideas behind the ALF can be traced to 19th century England. When a small group of activists from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals . In 1824, Catherine Smithies, an anti-slavery activist, set up an RSPCA youth wing called the Bands of Mercy, a children's club modeled on the Temperance Society's Bands of Hope, which were aimed at getting children to campaign against drinking. The Bands of Mercy were intended to encourage children to love animals, although some of its members reportedly responded with more enthusiasm than the RSPCA intended, and became known for engaging in direct action against hunters by sabotaging their rifles

The Animal Liberation Front objective is to abolish institutionalized animal exploitation because it assumes that animals are property. The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) is a name used by animal liberation activists who are in direct action on behalf of animals. This includes removing animals from laboratories and fur farms, and sabotaging facilities involved in animal testing and other animal-based industries
