Dont animal rights activists dig up bodies and blow up buildings?

Just as Christians don’t all want to be judged by the actions of George W Bush, animal rights activists don’t want to be judged by the actions of a very small group within people of their overall movement. These actions have been used to slander the entire movement which comprises of 100,000s of people throughout the world. The vast majority of activists stay within the law and protest peacefully.

Let’s deal with the “grave-digging”. The mainstream media would have you believe that the “culprits” were placed behind bars for this most heinous of crimes, the fact remains that no-one has taken responsibility for the grave digging. Johnny Ablewhite has reiterated this in letters from prison in which he is serving a 12 year sentence for blackmail that he has not admitted and also has not been charged with grave robbery. Even if the animal rights movement were caught red handed this family had been sending tens of thousands of guinea pigs to their torturous deaths at vivisection laboratories such as Huntingdon Life Sciences for years. They had made it absolutely clear that no amount of peaceful, legal protest was going to help those guinea pigs and so more radical action was taken. This action alone, digging up the dead mother of one of the owners, lead to the closure of the farm and has certainly saved the lives of countless thousands of animals. When TESCO move the remains of loved ones to build on cemeteries to (this has happened) make way for another Supermarket or when the British, have permanently robbed the graves of Egyptian Princes for example, nothing is said. Say what you like about the actions, the motives were good and lives were saved.

When it comes to bombings / fires / vandalism (essentially damage to inanimate objects) some believe this is an acceptable form of protest against people or companies who make money in an animal abuse industry. The founders of the ALF (which is no longer an organisation, more-so a state of mind) made it clear that the aim of any ALF action was to cause financial damage without injury to any animal, human or non-human. This could mean liberating animals, or burning a building down.
