Support the AETA 2!

Two animal rights activists have been arrested under the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) in connection to the release of mink from Utah fur farms. The crimes are attributed to the Animal Liberation Front, which the FBI labels the number one domestic terrorism threat.

William Viehl, 22, and Alex Hall, 20, were arrested in connection with the August, 2008 release of 300 minks from a South Jordan fur farm. It caused about $10,000 in damages. Spray painted slogans were found on the scene, including "No More Mink", "No More Murder" and "ALF: We Are Watching". The two are also accused of attempting to damage another mink farm a few months later.

No excuse for fur. that perverse person wear a coat from a skinned alive animal?

[MithilaNoronha]

@Spook7d Why must you think they're here for you to do anything at all, look at or otherwise. They're here to live their lives like you are to live yours.

[TheCatJoker]

If an animal species can't survive wearing its own skin, let it hit the high road to extinction. Isn't that in keeping with "survival of the fittest"? Humans are the only animals that "had" to rip the skin off other animals in order to cover their own. That's a pretty good indication that humans weren't very fit to survive and shouldn't really be here. There sure isn't any excuse for doing it in the present day. Fur farmers and their customers are the dregs of human society.

[Spook7d]

Ok, off subject, but point taken. However it is not about that, I believe animals are here for more than just looking at. I can not control the world. I just go to the store, buy a steak, take it home, cook it and eat it.

[Spook7d]

No, I figure I dont need it anymore, they can have it.

"Moderation" is not itself a justification to do anything. When blacks were enslaved in US-America, if it were to be done more moderately, would it be justified? Of course not. When you inflict suffering and take away liberty, saying "moderation" is meaningless.

[muse54]

In the old day, even my forefathers (Native Americans) were fur. However, there is no reason in this day and age to harvest animals for their fur. Wear something else ... how would you like someone wearing your skin? Think it would hurt?

[Soulisscool]

It's not assumption animals do suffer terribly. Factory farms really suck, they're in filthy cramped disease inducing conditions, (they say thats why we have got swine flu) get transported for hours in red hot weather with no food or water, many arrive to be brutally killed already dead or lame form travelling & there's worse things happens too. Speaking of them as 'tasty' doesnt take any of this into consideration.I think meat eaters should know what happens before the animal is on their plate.

[Spook7d]

It is all in moderation. Why does everybody assume that is is about the "harm, pain and suffering." All that I said is that "they are tasty."

[TheChoujinVirus]

oh and by the way, your videos aren't anything excellent neither

to make fun of someone because of their favorites list, just proves how much of a pathetic low life you really are. What's the matter? Did you get into a fight with your girlfriend or maybe your parents didn't love you enough?

[TheChoujinVirus]

you should be careful what you say, you still seem to call me a homo. SO therefore your a closet gay.

Second, in order to do that, I need plenty of cash for weapons, and even that I need webpages of ALF forum boards and information so I can plan that crud out and counter them. But by now you've already squealed to them.
