“Lastly, anyone who believes in the possibility of total animal liberation while billions of humans continue to inhabit and decimate the planet is delusional.

“It won't ruin our movement if someone gets killed in an animal rights action. It's going to happen sooner or later. The Animal Liberation Front, the Earth Liberation Front - sooner or later there's going to be someone getting hurt. And we have to accept that fact. It's going to happen. It's not going to hurt our movement. Our movement will go on. And it's important that we not let the bully pulpit of the FBI and the other oppression agencies stop us from what we're doing. They are the violent ones. They are the terrorists ... we have to keep doing what we're doing.” IfsImportantFactsHappensActionEarthHurtAnimalAcceptingRightsFrontsMovementGoes OnTerroristViolentOppressionRuinsLiberationAgencyAnimal RightsSooner Or LaterBullyFbiPulpitAnimal LiberationGetting HurtAnimal Rights Activists Author:Jerry Vlasak
“If that means going onto their farms, releasing their animals and burning the place to the ground, that's morally justifiable, in our opinion...There were always innocent people who got hurt somewhere along the way but it was important that those who oppressed one group of people be stopped, and we don't see the animal liberation struggle being substantially different from these other struggles.... A sustained campaign against a particular industry or a particular organization has the potential to be quite effective.” PeopleIfsWayMeanImportantDifferentHurtAnimalOpinionStruggleGroupsParticularIndustryOrganizationCampaignsInnocentBurningLiberationFarmsAnimal RightsOppressedAnimal LiberationGot HurtOthers Struggles Author:Jerry Vlasak
