Talk:Animal Liberation Front

Terrorist Group

They have been cited as a Terrorist group along with the ELF for the over $110 million of damages, threats, intimidation, instructions on bomb making being made publicly available. Link: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-109shrg32209/html/CHRG-109shrg32209.htm I note a large cadre of ALF apologists, constantly rewriting this page to paint this terror group in a glowing innocent light and adding in various retorts and claims of "false flag" operations, which would be laughable if this group's activities were not so serious and life endangering. Its damned shameful and no better than those who defend neo nazi groups — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.69.56.14 (talk) 20:19, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Engaging in ad hominem attacks and bad faith editing (see: WP:GF) is not a good way to build a case for your preferred version of the article, and ridiculous comparisons to neo-Nazis probably won't help, either.--C.J. Griffin (talk) 20:46, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Nah you are absolutely wrong. ALF is fully justified in all its actions RJS001 (talk) 14:32, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

FBI source

File:Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide Part 01.pdf is not a useful addition to the article, especially as it was included in this edit. We could reasonably summarize the content it has on ALF and include it as a reference, but we would need to be careful about using straightforward statements that hew to the primary source.

As it is, the image displayed is entirely unhelpful, and it's not accurate to say (as the caption currently does), that the FBI "associates the ALF with domestic terrorism", as the document itself is heavily hedged and never makes so broad a claim.

Not a big deal to me, so I self-reverted. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:05, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Shouldn't we mention that at least one of these firebombings was actually an undercover cop

Seems relevant. 2604:3D09:D78:1000:7CB2:BC52:EF01:E8DD (talk) 03:30, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

We would need a source (reference). --Tryptofish (talk) 22:40, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Website link

The website link appears to go to a book publisher from the 2010s instead of the ALF. Is this intended? ~2026-42369-55 (talk) 22:21, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

I looked at it, and it looks like somebody publishing stuff that comes from ALF. I don't know if there is any way to tell whether it is "official". --Tryptofish (talk) 00:17, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

I think removal would be the best thing, especially considering that theres no central organisation of the ALF to have a website. ~2026-40453-21 (talk) 17:45, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
