  Animal Liberation Front - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) is a name used internationally by animal-rights activists who engage in direct action on behalf of animals, or in protest at the animal-testing (vivisection), fur, meat, egg, or dairy industries.
In 1965, the group was re-created, this time called the Hunt Saboteurs Assocation, which laid false scents, blew hunting horns to send the hounds in the wrong direction, set off smoke bombs, and lay down between the hunters and the fox.
Early ALF covert operations tended to centre on the removal, or liberation, of animals from vivisection laboratories.
