a tribute to actions over words

A.L.F.: Complete Diary of Actions is the first attempt at compiling the complete history of re-
corded A.L.F. actions—from lab raids to paint bombs—in one collection. This is the unwritten
history of an underground movement that rises to the call of non-human animals, rescuing
them through direct or indirect means under the cover of darkness. With this collection, we
wish to offer historians and activists the first attempt at a comprehensive resume of the U.S.’s
most prolific underground movement, and the last hope for thousands of animals each year.

The information compiled here was pooled from numerous sources. Every effort was made to
verify the accuracy of the data, and ensure the thoroughness of this timeline’s scope. It can be
speculated that reported actions represent but only a portion of all A.L.F. (and other) activity.
This is not presented as an all-inclusive list. Instead, it attempts to collect all actions reported
to the greater movement, and many which were less publicized.

In bringing this information together in one place, some points become evident. The sheer
prolificness of underground activists in this 30-year old movement is immense, with over 1,500
recorded actions in 40+ years. For all this activity, fewer than 40 activists have been arrested. Of
those, only a small handful have served any substantial amount of prison time. The cost/benefit
calculation is clear: for the animal liberation movement, the A.L.F. represents a net gain.

The actions here are diverse, in both tactics and impact. Look closely at this timeline, and
it will tell a story. Direct action trends corresponding to above-ground campaigns. Cells
building their skill level, evolving their tactics, and disbanding for reasons unknown. We see
expertly coordinated lab raids of the 1980s fading to the surge of small-scale property dam-
age of the mid-1990s, the further surge of fur farm raids, the return of the lab raid, and the
gradual fading of lower-impact retail-level actions into the less numerous, yet higher-impact
actions in the era of this timeline’s end.

The greatest power of the Animal Liberation Front perhaps has yet to be realized. While U.S.
history has not yet shown us a focused direct action campaign that has collapsed an entire
industry and rid it from this earth forever, no movement should scale it’s hope to the limits
of recorded history, but instead to the boundless potential of the unwritten future.

Every activist who attended an anti-fur demo this year pairing off and visiting a fur farm
would guarantee there were no fur stores to protest next year. Every person who dined at a
vegetarian restaurant today pairing off and visiting a slaughterhouse tonight would ensure
every restaurant was vegetarian tomorrow. And every person who refused an animal tested
product today striking a high-impact blow against animal experimentation tonight would
guarantee a more hopeful future for all of vivisection’s victims.

This is the story of those who make animal liberation a reality.

how to use
Significant Actions
Actions in bold are highlighted for their significance. I deemed an action
significant if it had one or more of the following qualities:

• Directly saved animals (“live liberation”)


• Aimed for maximum damage (through fire or other thorough means)
• Highly strategic (small actions that were high-impact)

Unclaimed Actions
Each year, numerous incidents are recorded at animal abuse targets, for which
no claim of responsibility is made, and for which police and the FBI can
identify no clear cause or motive. Only those behind these incidents know
their true motives: animal liberation, or something strictly apolitical. Pooled
from media reports and other sources, significant examples of these un-
claimed actions have been included.

Listing unclaimed actions is not to be taken as speculation of an animal


liberation motive. Rather, I wish to offer history what may potentially be a
broader and more accurate view of the scope of underground animal libera-
tion activity.
