What Is The Animal Rights Militia?

The Animal Rights Militia (ARM) is comprised of autonomous cells of animal rights activists who willing to engage in direct action which may endanger human life.  While Animal Rights Militia activists support the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and other strategies, ARM believes that the ALF does not go far enough with regards to direct action.



ARM first emerged in the 1980's in England.  Animal rights activists operating under the banner of the ARM shifted their focus away from demonstrations to direct action that included violence, intimidation and the destruction of private property.  ARM believes that more effective victories can be achieved with these strategies coupled with poisoning hoaxes and other similar strategies.



The Animal Rights Militia has been active in the United States since 1987 and in Canada since 1990.


The Animal Rights Militia has no centralized structure or leadership it is comprised entirely of autonomous cells of dedicated activists who are prepared to use any tactic to advance the cause of animal rights.

Substances such as shampoos, cosmetics, pesticides, weed-killers, household products and riot control gases are instilled into the animal's eyes. Generally no pain relief is given during this cruel animal testing.    - Image courtesy of AnimalExperimentsPictures.com

Ask yourself who are the real terrorists, the sadists who do this every day to defenseless animals or the dedicated ARM activists who take action to stop them?
