“A.L.F.: Complete Diary of Actions” Book Released

Posted | 1 comment

After hundreds of hours of research, editing, and layout, the final version of the A.L.F. Complete Diary of Actions book is out.

Organized by year, “Animal Liberation Front: Complete Diary of Actions, The First 30 Years” is a nearly-complete timeline of all reported A.L.F. actions for its first 30 years in the U.S., 1979 to 2008.

After the limited print-run, soft-release of the book last fall, I have redone the layout, given the book an ISBN number, and updated the content. It was a major undertaking, and I’m extremely happy with the final product.

The book includes:

*Complete list of reported actions, broken down by year.
*Unclaimed actions reported in the media.
*Reprinted news coverage of A.L.F. actions.
*The first comprehensive look at the history of the underground animal liberation movement in the United States.

The specs are: 8.5″ x 11″, color cover, perfect bound.

This is the first opportunity to view the entire recorded history of the Animal Liberation Front in the U.S., from broken windows to lab raids. It can now be purchased from:

Animal Liberation Front-line bookstore

-or-

Amazon (if you must)

Contact for wholesale rates.

Several future book projects were derailed after the confiscation of the original files by the FBI, but we are in the recovery process and will be rolling out several new books in the coming months.

Animal Liberation Front: Complete Diary of Actions, The First 30 Years is the story of those who make animal liberation a reality, recorded in full for the first time.

Fur Farm Address List Called a “Terrorist Handbook”

Posted | 2 comments

Mink farmers call The Blueprint a “terrorist handbook” and claim armed overnight patrols of their farms.

Fur farmers are going on the defensive in response to The Blueprint – a list of fur farm addresses for activists.  In an article last week in the Park Record (Park City, UT), one fur farmer stated in response to The Blueprint:

I have a target on my back.

The Blueprint – subtitled “the largest collection of fur industry intelligence to date” – is a 62-page document recently published by Voice of the Voiceless and Bite Back Magazine. It is an up to date, state-by-state directory of mink, fox, and lynx farms for activists. The document was released at the conclusion of the two-month Fur Farm Intelligence Project, where activists visited and compiled data on over 200 fur farms.

While the Park Record calls The Blueprint “a how-to guide for carrying out attacks against mink ranchers”, a look at the document shows this to be tabloid-style sensationalism. The document is made up of a short introduction explaining the value of names and addresses in legal animal protection campaigns, followed by a state-by-state listing of all known fur farms. Not only is The Blueprint absent of any “how-to” information on illegal activity, it is absent of any “how-to” information at all.

Part III of The Fur Farm Intelligence Project’s mission goals reads:

Collect data at each location relevant to legal campaigns: including species seen, farm size, and more.

Regardless, fur farmers spoken to in the Park Record claim the disclosure of their addresses has put them on the defensive. A Coalville, Utah fur farmer interviewed for the article stated:

The Blueprint is a little disturbing…. We spend many sleepless nights on the ranch.

Animal abusers appear to be so depraved, they reject the first amendment of the Constitution entirely. One mink farmer had this to say about the address list:

All this is is domestic terrorism.

The concern relates to a document of raw data, listing names and address of businesses. Calling this protected speech activity “domestic terrorism” places the burden on activists for the fur farmer’s guilt-complex, and operating a business the majority of the public finds morally abhorrent.

Despite being named in the article as the editor, I was not contacted for an interview to explain the intention behind The Blueprint.

A second paper – the Medford Star News – will be running an article on The Blueprint this week, and conducted a lengthy interview in which I was able to accurately represent my intention behind the fur farm directory. In number of mink farms, Medford, Wisconsin is second only to Morgan, Utah.

Animal abusers require only a little secrecy to do their work. The Park Record article highlights the power of “coordinative outreach”, and that a necessary step in dismantling any animal abuse industry is knowing the names and addresses that make up its architecture.

Posted | 6 comments

Announcing the release of the largest update of fur farm addresses in nearly 15 years.

After five months of research and investigation, I am announcing the release of a landmark document: The Blueprint – the largest update of fur farm addresses in nearly 15 years.

The Blueprint: Fur Farm Intelligence Project Report is the product of a 13,000-mile investigation of over 75% of the fur farms in the country.

The Blueprint is a 62-page supplement to my 10,000-word narrative on the eight-state Fur Farm Intelligence Project investigation, featured in Bite Back Magazine #15.

Included in the 62-page document:

*Massively updated state-by-state fur farm address list

*Photos of nearly 100 mink, fox, and lynx farms.

*Anonymous reports and photos from clandestine visits to fur farms and industry research sites.

*Updated closed farm database.

*Detailed data and status updates on over 200 fur farms.

*Dozens of newly discovered, unpublished fur farm addresses.

I compiled The Blueprint: Fur Farm Intelligence Project Report with the intent of mapping the entire supply-side and infrastructure grid of the industry: from auction houses to feed suppliers, fox farms to research facilities.

The Blueprint contains new addresses and updated data on:

*Fox farms

*Mink farms

*Lynx farms

*Fur industry research farms

*Fur feed suppliers

And much more.

20 years of collected fur farm data has culminated in this document.

Fur Farm Intelligence Project Mission Statement

Mission statement:

The Fur Farm Intelligence Project will compile the largest collection of hard data on fur farms and fur industry infrastructure in nearly 15 years. The Project is an endgame mission to map the entire grid of the industry, with a primary focus on names, addresses, and other actionable data.

The goals:

1) Verify the operational status of every known fur farm (open / closed)

2) Discover locations of unknown farms, research locations, and infrastructure sites.

3) Collect data at each location relevant to legal campaigns: including species seen, farm size, and more.

4) Publicly disclose all data in a single document.

The phases:

Phase One: A two-month road trip to visit, at minimum, 75% of the fur farms in the country.

Phase Two: Research and compilation of all known data on fur industry locations into one hard document, forming the largest body of raw, site-specific data to date.

Phase Three: Three: The public release of all compiled data in one document titled The Blueprint.
