Behind the Mask-The Animal Liberation Front (7/7)

[leomatosuk]

YOU GUYS ARE MY HEROES!!!!!!!!!!!

[setdwoo]

How insulting to African Americans to compare the animal rights activist breaking into facilities and freeing animals to the pain and suffering that black Americans endured for hundreds of years. Educate yourself. Next time you feel you support dissolution of animal testing ask yourself if you want a cure for cancer, aids, and literally thousands of diseases. No medical science could proceed without testing it first. I know you would let them test if it was you with the disease wanting a cure.

[MrUmmReally]

@setdwoo

The point being made is that before blacks were freed from slavery, they were viewed as property to be used how ever the owner sees fit. Decades later, now that they have been freed we realize that point of view was wrong.

The hope is that people will someday see the errors of their ways and see that they are wrong about animals being property as well.

Using animals to find a cure for AIDS? You talk about educating yourself, then make a statement like that?

Come on son. . .

[translatoractivist]

@setdwoo remember that african americans were not considered to be humans but animals , that s why some felt the right to enslave them . You should educate yourself and study the history of slavery to find out which was the moral at its base .In fact it was just exactly the same one that nowadays justifies the suffering of animals : the right to use them in the name of a supposed superiority of your specie . Stay human.

alf.

the best thing.

ever.

[organicbeanful]

That made me cry more than once- how can us 'civilized' beings do that to non-human animals?

one day the ALF will be respected as the amazing people they are and admired for never giving up .X

what the song?

[psych3577]

thanx for sharing this beautiful movie. I have been a vegetarian for the last 15 years and an animal activist for 5 years. ALF as well as any group of people fighting against animal cruelty are true altruists and heroes in so many respects.

[organicbeanful]

@psych3577 No offence, but what good is being a vegetarian? what about the dairy cows- whose calves are taken away to veal farms 1-7 days after birth just so humans can drink the milk? what about the male chicks hatched in egg farms? what happens to the hens once they stop laying and being cost effective? what about the dairy cows who become too old or sick to produce more babies? if you want to make a difference, be a vegan activist. just think about it.

[thestonylein]

Thanks alot for this Upload! I hope it helps waking up some people.

STOP THE ANIMAL HOLOCAUST!

[gloryofwar82]

Thank you everyone that has done ALF direct action. You are true heroes. To equate wanting peace and non-suffering through peaceful actions with "terrorism" is bullshit. If this is "terrorism," well then call me a terrorist. Am I afraid of the Federal Bullshit Investigators? No.

I'm sure the FBI has already been in my trash anyway, but fuck them.

[bubblem8]

Thanks for uploading this-fabulous life-changing stuff.

[missmeowglitter]

This movie was incredible. Thank you so much for posting this... I wish people were more aware of everything that goes on in all these disgusting corporate industries...

[Debbie8554]

Thanks so much for posting!!

[LadyGaGaExposed]

thanks for posting, great movie. I learned alot.

Where would our 2nd amendment be without Youtube?

[pdxeddie1111]

@frankenfoamy dont know but you can bet everyone that has commented in favor of alf is probably in a government file now and it will get worse. As a meat eater and Christian and overall conservative I have to admit that a lot of what they say has validity. One thing I think is ridiculous is equating vandalism to terrorism but it is the noose being tightened around the neck of the free world these days.

"Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds theirs. We live by the death of others: we are burial places! I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look on the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men." - Leonardo da Vinci (Renaissance painter, architect, engineer, mathematician and philosopher, 1452 - 1519)

[muchlove59]

What a great film, really enjoyed that.

This utterly pointless animal testing needs to end, it's barbaric and is more suited to cavemen than a supposed civilised society

[pooupyournose]

can someone PLEASE tell me the name of the song that starts at 0.27

Away With Murder by Camera Obscura

[SwingGirlBlues]

So let's get what this video just tried to say.

Scientists are dispicable people who like to beat animals. So you should lay down your life to fight them. You should break into buildings and commit arson. You should send death threats to those dispicable scientists to scare them into certain actions. And PETA loves ALF.

For the record, my mum's lab got sent bomb threats while she was pregnant with me. ALF threatened both my mother's and my life - before I was even born. Disgusting.

[sabsk122]

Maybe your mother shouldn't have tested on animals. It seems you lived long enough to make this stupid comment!

[SwingGirlBlues]

The best you can come up with is to call my comment stupid. Forget the fact that ALF threatened my life and the life of my mother. She was testing on jellyfish because she needed to perform tests, but wanted to test on an animal that could not feel pain. The ignorance of ALF astounds me.

[sabsk122]

And jellyfish have the same molecular and genetic structure to humans? Wow, here I thought jellyfish were entirely different and humans couldn't benefit from a test tested on animals that aren't even close to being genetically related to us. As to the ALF's death threats, it's all talk. The ALF has never and will never harm another being, they use it as a scare tactic to change the behaviour of people. I'm not the ignorant one, I've done research too, there are better methods to animal testsing.

[SwingGirlBlues]

Did I say that they had the same structure as humans? No. But they are a full biosystem, which is what was necessary for what she was doing. This was back in the 80s. There was no, and is no, better alternative.

Death threats are death threats. You can't seriously defend those. And using them as a scare tactic is terrorism.

[sabsk122]

Well how will the tests be scientifically sound if you're testing on a "biosystem" that is not related to humans? How could it possibly benefit humans if it was tested on a biosystem with a different molecular structure? And there are better methods in the 21st century. Do your research. We have cloned human skin, we've managed to clone organs. We can use this advanced science to test chemicals on.

[SwingGirlBlues]

This was in the 20th century. -_-;

And it was close enough to what she needed - she was a *marine* biologist. Not a doctor.

[Planetaterra24]

I'm really shoked...and disterbed ...vegan for ever..and peta thank you for this...

[SailorVegan]

Those mink should have never been there in the first place. People should think about what would happen if they keep animals in places they don't belong and torture them. If the eco-system is harmed, take it up with the abusers. Now the message has truly been sent. Don't want the eco-system harmed? Don't torture animals!

[SwingGirlBlues]

And ALF certainly helped letting those mink out to destroy the eco-system, didn't they? Idiots.

[SailorVegan]

ROFLMAO because breeding them to be skinned alive is SO natural. Its SUCH a natural part of the ecosystem!! OMGS you're BRILLIANT

Shall I repeat? DONT WANT THE ECOSYSTEM HARMED?

DONT TORTURE ANIMALS

Don't shoot the messenger, honey.

[SwingGirlBlues]

Did I support the fur industry in any way? No. Nor do I support harming the ecosystem. Idiot.

[organicbeanful]

@SwingGirlBlues how can you not support harming the ecosystem when you eat meat? it takes 10kg of grain to produce 1kg of beef. think about that. idiot.

[xbrandoncrisp]

yah i was just reading about the ravaged eco system caused by a handful of freed minks. human activity pales in comparison to what those awful minks did. end your life, please.

[SwingGirlBlues]

Actually, placing mink in a different ecosystem was human activity. Did I blame the mink? No. I blamed the ALF that set them loose. Another death threat from you. Lovely.

[organicbeanful]

@SwingGirlBlues 1) those mink shouldn't have been there in the first place- they're not native.

2) which does more damage- keeping mink in cages and feeding them on the flesh of farmed animals so that they in turn can be killed for their fur, or having them run free and happy, taking only what they need and finding balance within the environment? theyre not responsible for declines in otthers and water voles- its humans with pollution and stealing habitats etc etc etc. its always humans.

[nioclas32]

Releasing the likes of mink into the countryside is detremental to the eco-system their released into, sabs released hundreds in my village, two years later, no corncrake leftm, no fish in the rivers etc, if your for conservation think of the effects on your actions first,and i am anti fur dont worry :)

[lilysotoo]

I'd like a copy that I might show to people at a stretch...how would I find one, please?

Also: thank you for all that you do!

May we all be well and happy!

[BadReputationNation]

lilysotoo, the film "Behind The Mask" can be bought online at Uncagedfilms(dot)com.

Shannon Keith has another film, "Skin Trade,"

which is about the fur industry.

[lilysotoo]

I'd like a copy that I could show to people all at a stretch...any idea where I might find one?

Also: thank you for all that you do.

May we all be well and happy!

[rhysxk]

How utterly disgusting for them to compare African American's struggle for civil rights with what they do. Talk about being belittled. The nerve to use images of Martin Luther King Jr. to justify their shaky moral system.

[nutmeg169]

why is the civil rights movement any greater than the animal rights movement?

If anything the ALF is more selfless, as none of those involved will gain any rights if the movement succeeds

[Hinaisthebest]

@nutmeg169 people will understand this after 100 years we are very backward, just because we are modernized doesnt mean we are developed.

[ArktiqStorm]

@nutmeg169 Did you really just say freeing animals is just as good, if not better, than black people's rights? This is why no one listens to people like you...

[nioclas32]

i agree, there is a fine line between a pet dog and a political prisioner or a human revolutionary movement

[poolidoor]

i love animal but i hate people who are extremist any kind they should not put martin luther king or any DEMOCRATIC fighter but more hitler speech or some sort

all life is precious but human life is more precious and between a dog and a child i won t even discuss the choice killin people or threatening or putting corpse out of their tomb is wrong and sick

[blueandyellowguitar]

thank you for posting the whole thing, it was very interesting to watch.

[nutmeg169]

oh aren't you amusing?
