Animal Liberation Front - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) is a name used internationally by animal liberation activists who engage in direct action on behalf of animals, or in protest of the animal testing, vivisection, fur, meat, egg, or dairy industries. |
 | | One of the most important ALF actions in the U.S., according to Best, was the May 1984 raid on the University of Pennsylvania's head-injury laboratory, where primates were being struck in the head with pneumatic devices, and subjected to g-forces up to 3,000 g, in order to develop safer American football helmets. |
 | | Early ALF covert operations tended to centre on the removal, or liberation, of animals from vivisection laboratories. |
