A Comprehensive Guide To Direct Action

By ShadowVegan


Finding People To Work With

-Be extremely careful about who to trust. It only takes one weak link to get you all in jail.
-FBI agents will pretend to be activists, will only eat Vegan, will offer to pay for some expenses and even offer you housing, and even encourage direct action or try to get you to take direct action with them. Of course you can rarely be completely sure if someone can be trusted, but use your best judgment, and only trust someone who you have known for a long time.
-There are government agents who have infiltrated the movement, and exist within the movement for the sole purpose of sabotaging activists. These people exist within groups like SHAC and PETA, as well as most likely outside of groups. They will attempt to infiltrate cells, or link up with potential activists, make them do something illegal, and report them. To avoid getting tricked by one of these people, it is advisable to work with a long-time friend who you have known since well before you got involved in the Animal Liberation movement. For more information, read this article.
-Approach the subject of direct action slowly. First casually find out if the person supports it, and try to do your talking outside, and without cell phones or other people nearby. Even at this early stage, you should only choose people who you have known for a long time and trust completely–it only takes one small mistake, intentionally or unintentionally, to send you to jail for years!
-Only trust Vegans who are very committed to Animal Rights and Animal Liberation. Someone who is not willing to do the simple act of giving up food and clothing, etc., to save innocent lives is obviously not dedicated enough to the movement, and will likely turn on you/your friends/the movement.
-Avoid working with alcoholics, drug addicts, etc. They are too likely to, accidentally or intentionally, give out information. Even if they are normally very trustworthy, they might say too much when they’re drunk.
-Avoid working with people involved in other illegal/criminal activities. If they are caught for unrelated activity, they can, will, and have snitched on cell mates to reduce their sentence.
-Avoid working with people who like to brag, talk to much, etc. They’ll have a hard time keeping quiet.
-Do not trust someone just because they are willing to do something.
-Make sure that your and your cell members’ companion animals will be taken care of should you go to jail. Don’t tell anyone that you are doing something illegal, but decide ahead of time who you will have take care of them should you be arrested, and make sure it’s someone who has a key or knows where a hidden key is in case you are not able to get it to them before going to jail.
-Don’t trust anyone completely. Operate on a need-to-know basis. More under “Security Culture”.
-Make sure everyone in your cell reads this guide, knows how to stay secure, is familiar with laws and interrogation techniques, and knows what to do if approached by law enforcement or arrested.

After you have formed a cell, you might want to go through something where every member makes a promise or oath not to reveal any information to anyone (police, friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, family, or anyone else), and that no information will ever leave the cell. This might help some cell members make it through an arrest, trial, grand jury, etc. without giving away the information. (Even if you don’t feel you need this, others in your cell might.)

From the Animal Liberation Front:

One of the most important steps towards getting involved in direct action is finding people to work with. In any ALF action you are putting your freedom on the line, so you must be positive you can completely trust the people you are working with. It is essential to find people who will not sell out you or the movement should an arrest occur. You should always work with people who you know well and have for a long period of time, people who you know you can rely on. Security is an important issue in direct action, so people with a tendency to brag or who won’t be able to keep their mouth shut are a bad idea. Starting your own cell is better than joining an existing one, since if you know of an existing one, their security obviously isn’t too good. Asking someone if they want to get involved is never an easy thing to do. Bring up the subject in a general way and see how the person feels about direct action first, and move on from there. Cells usually consist of 2 to 5 members. Use the minimum number of people needed for each action, but don’t forget the importance of look outs. Having extra people unnecessarily puts them at risk. One person should be chosen as the leader of the group. This doesn’t mean that person has any special power or privileges, and it often wont come into play at all. But if during an actions things go wrong, someone will need to make split second decisions, and in this case there is no time for democracy. Progress as a group, starting with minor actions to get used to each other, discussing after each action what went well and what didn’t, and discussing how to improve and hit harder.

Security Culture


Make security your number one priority. You can do the animals no good if you’re sitting in jail.

GROUPS FILE EMERGENCY APPEAL IN COURT TO SAVE CATS

forwarded to me by ADL-LA

A monumental step was taken on Thursday, February 19, 2010, to save Los Angeles’ free-roaming cats and let the nation know that their rights should be protected.

Stray Cat Alliance (“SCA”) proudly joined No Kill Advocacy Center (“NKAC”) in filing a motion to intervene in Los Angeles Superior Court to defend free-roaming cats in place of the City of Los Angeles whose decision to appeal the matter of Urban Wildlands v. City of Los Angeles (LASC BS115483) is still pending.  The national law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld LLP representing SCA and NKAC in this matter, filed the brief that was heard before the same judge in the matter of Wildlands v. City of Los Angeles.  The motion was denied.  Upon receiving the judge’s order, the next step will involve filing an appeal.

This is a major step in the right direction to uphold the rights of free-roaming cats to exist.  This case has implication for cities across the state as to whether cats may exist outdoors or be rounded up and killed in the usual fashion of ‘catch and kill’ at shelters.  SCA and NKAC are the only advocacy groups taking on the well-funded and powerful Audubon groups in court.  Fortunately, the cats of LA have SCA and NKAC to defend them, but this is not the case in other cities.

For this reason, WE NEED YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT in believing in the mission of Building a No-Kill Nation, One Stray At A Time.  We have the generous pro bono support of Akin, Gump, et al., and they should be applauded for their conscientious understanding of the plight of free-roaming cats.  SCA will diligently work to continue business as usual saving lives and advocating for cats wherever possible.   You will be apprised of developments in this case as they occur and thank you for your support.

Please find below the press release the media received.

Organizing Protests in Florida: March 15 Day of Action for Seals in Canada

by Camille Marino

Day of Action for Seals in Canada

Monday, March 15, 2010 12:00 PM

Contact me (camille@negotiationisover.com) to coordinate a unified protest with other local groups in central Florida.

**********

From IDA website:
In March, the world’s largest annual slaughter of marine mammals is scheduled to resume, and the seals in Canada need your help! Please join IDA supporters and other compassionate people as we prepare for a Day of Action for Seals in Canada on March 15. Tens, if not hundreds of thousands of harp seals will be clubbed, hooked and skinned to death for their fur. But there’s no need to wait until March 15!

Orlando speaks for seals!

Monday March 15 starting at noon. We will gather at the corner of Church and Orange in downtown Orlando and we need activists to hold signs and distribute literature. This is a great opportunity to educate the busy lunch crowds downtown. Take a long lunch, join us!

What you can do!

We have steps you can take today, and we invite you to join with others on March 15:

1) Today – Send letters, faxes, e-mails, and make phone calls to the Canadian officials listed below. Express your opinion as to why you oppose the hunt and why it must end now. The seal hunt is inherently inhumane, the products made from seal parts are non-essential, the hunt is biologically unsustainable, and economically unviable. The Harb Bill (named after its sponsor, Senator Mac Harb) must be passed within Canada to put an end to the seal hunt permanently.

Residents of Canada:

- Contact your Member of Parliament (MP). You may insert your postal code to find your MP here.

- Copy the bill’s sponsor, Senator Mac Harb: harbm@sen.parl.gc.ca

Being A Human Is Complicated…

Simulposted with Radical Abolition Agitation Zone

by Michael Bishop

A lot is weighing on my mind, as usual, but this time it isn’t social, political or anything related to struggles in the world…It’s about the war inside of me. I have a huge heart which makes me a very sensitive, loving and tender person for the most part. I have my wife and my daughter, who are two girls that I adore with every fiber of my being, and the majority of my life revolves around them. They give me the opportunity to feel and express my love daily.

In general, people who I see regularly know me as a friendly, silly, thoughtful person, though one who is happy to debate certain issues whether they be philosophical, political etc… But there is a side of me that is a very very angry person. While I believe that anger is part of who I am, and that it comes from the same sensitivity in my heart that makes me loving, it can be very volatile. I have to be careful to keep a pretty clear head so that it isn’t misdirected.

Every once in a while, it will come out in ways that I am ashamed of and shocked by later on. If I put myself in a situation where my mind isn’t clear, something can trigger that anger, bringing out a force that isn’t actually fueled by the situation at hand. All of the hurt I have ever felt, and all of my anger at every injustice perpetrated by mankind against mankind and animals that breaks my heart every day is unleashed in a totally irrational manner.

I’ve tried to deal with it in different ways over the years, and as a Buddhist I’ve even tried to eliminate or deny it’s validity. That hasn’t worked, and I’m not sure it needs to. The love and anger I have inside are parts of who I am, and in combination-appropriately directed, they are the driving force for many things I want to do with my life. However, as I’ve figured out in some painful situations, the anger is also a burden that I need to keep a close eye on so that I don’t break the heart of people I love…being a human is complicated.

Animal Extremism… Yes, yes it is!

Editor’s Note: Casey Suchan is part of a team producing “Bold Native,” a feature film exploring the range animal exploitation issues, including direct action and animal liberation.  Negotiation is Over will be previewing a trailer of this movie in the next few days and I want to encourage everyone to support and publicize this team’s efforts to get our message out.  To quote the tagline from the Bold Native website, “We’ve got some trouble to start.” Watch for further details. -Camille Marino

by Casey  Suchan

Extremist?  Violent?  Terrorist?  Absolutely.  But not us.

These are the words the meat, pharmaceutical, and fur industries use to describe animal advocates and activists. We can’t stop them from tossing off this language, but we can stop using it against ourselves.

It’s time to redirect these words back to where they belong, the real perpetrators of terrorism and violence and extremism, those very same animal abuse industries. While we may disagree with each others’ methods, let’s not call one another violent. Be specific with language. Call it illegal. Call it criminal. Call it a good tactic or a bad tactic.

Express your honest opinion, of course, but end your support or criticism with a reminder that the real violence is happening every day in laboratories to fellow primates like chimpanzees and baboons and monkeys and to millions of other mammals likes rabbits and rats and mice and guinea pigs as well as reptiles by the millions for research that is often unnecessary, redundant and just bad, unpredictive science.

The real violence is the imprisonment and abuse of millions of cows and sheep and chickens and pigs and goats and pheasants and quail and fish under horrific conditions without mercy.

Because it tastes good. And because the industry’s profit margins are more important than basic, simple compassion. That’s extremism.


Real terror and violence are endured by the fox and mink and lynx and chinchillas and wild coyote and raccoon and endangered bear and domestic cats and dogs for fur coats and stoles and trim. For vanity.

Extreme is imprisoning our planet’s most breathtaking, intellectually and socially advanced creatures, dolphins and whales and elephants, in circuses and marine theme parks and forcing them to perform for us because our entertainment trumps their individual happiness.

Extremism is manifest in the zoos that frustrate every natural instinct that an animal has because we like the spectacle.

They may use these words on us, those interested in ending animal exploitation. But these ideas are grown from the belly of the “might makes right” beast, practiced over generations and perfected by the modern animal industrial complex.  The scope and depth of animal abuse is so profound and so deeply rooted in our cultural histories and traditions that it sometimes feels as if there’s no end in sight. To crack this open is going to take unity.

When we use these words on our fellow animal advocates and activists engaged in the same moral fight, we fracture our progress.  We have the moral high ground.  We have the truth.  That’s obvious to anyone in the animal industrial complex; that’s why they hide what they do and use these terms to marginalize us and divide the movement.  It’s time we refuse to use this language on anyone who fights for animal rights, and let the real animal use and abuse extremists take their full and rightful ownership of the violence and terror they create.

Terrorist link in Dafni shootout

A 35-year-old man who was killed during a shootout with police in the southeastern Athens neighborhood of Dafni early yesterday is thought to have been involved in Greece’s domestic terrorist scene, source said.

Lambros Fountas was shot dead when he and an accomplice were seen by two police officers in a patrol car at 4.40 a.m. as they attempted to steal a parked vehicle.

Fountas had been known to police since he was arrested during disturbances at the National Technical University of Athens in 1995. He allegedly had contact with members of the Exarchia-based anarchist movement and had been on the anti-terrorist squad’s watch list for a long time.

The suspect with whom Fountas was allegedly attempting to steal the car managed to evade arrest but based on forensic tests carried out on evidence found at the scene, police believe that the second man had taken part in a recent attack carried out by Revolutionary Struggle.

The urban guerrilla group has carried out a number of attacks in recent years, including firing a rocket-propelled grenade at the US Embassy, murdering a witness protection officer and detonating a car bomb outside the Athens Exchange.

Sources suggested that the two men had been stealing the car so that it could be used in an imminent strike.

According to the police, the two suspects had already broken into the Seat Ibiza when a patrol car pulled up a short distance away. One of the officers turned on the siren, prompting Fountas and his accomplice to jump out of the vehicle and begin shooting at the policemen. The officers took cover behind their patrol car and in the ensuing exchange of fire, the 35-year-old was killed.

A Zastava handgun, with two bullets missing from the chamber, and an assault grenade were found in his possession. He was also carrying a walkie-talkie and wearing two pairs of leather gloves. Police also searched Fountas’s home but did not reveal if they had found any clues.

THE ONLY TERRORIST IS THE STATE! NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS..

HAVE A NICE JOURNEY MY COMRADE LAMBRO!

Until SeaWorld Shuts Down, the Toll of Victims Will Mount

Posted on the PeTA Files

by Ingrid E. Newkirk

Eyebrows are shooting up in the animal protection world, as SeaWorld has hired professional animal entertainer Jack Hanna to sing its praises in public. Given his own record of responsibility for numerous animal attacks (including an incident in which a chimpanzee he was using in a public display bit off a 5-year-old girl’s finger) and his history of using underage animals who should be with their mothers instead of in noisy crowds and under bright lights, Hanna seems a good fit for SeaWorld. Despite its heavy public relations efforts, the marine park has a long history of getting away with murder while turning a fast buck. For example, the statements from SeaWorld about what a surprise, shock, and accident it was that the orca Tilly had drowned and pounded a seasoned trainer to death in Orlando deserve careful scrutiny. It was the third time that that particular orca had killed a human being (Tilly’s son also killed a trainer last year in Spain), both other deaths having also been dismissed by the amusement park as “accidental” when they were likely anything but. The marine amusement park environment is rife with deaths, close calls, and injuries.

As Jason Hribal writes in his soon-to-be-released book, Fear of the Animal Planet: The Hidden History of Animal Resistance, Tilly and two of the other orcas came from Sealand of the Pacific in Canada, a facility that closed shortly after all three whales were involved in a fatal attack on a trainer. That attack, “carried out by Nootka, Haida, and Tilikum left the park in a public relations freefall. Administrators promised changes. New safety procedures would be initiated. Physical contact between the trainers and whales will no longer be allowed. Guardrails will be installed along the poolside to prevent slips or bites.” All the same things that SeaWorld is saying as it hopes for the story of the trainer’s death to go away. But in Canada, back then, public pressure did not let up. As Hribal writes, “Between the daily protests at the park’s front gates, national demands that the orcas be released back to the ocean, and the city council’s entrance into the debate, Sealand’s will crumbled. In August of 1991, the park reached a startling decision. ‘After a lot of thought and discussion,’ the director clarified, ‘it was decided killer whales should be phased out.’ … The twenty-nine year old institution had closed permanently.”

SeaWorld bought the three whales who had attacked, as well as Haida’s newborn calf, for $5 million. The decision was made in secret, and the export permits were granted behind closed doors. The public at large was not allowed into the conversation. Hribal reports that Nootka died in 1994 at the age of 13 and that Haida and her calf, Ky, went to San Antonio. “Three years after the death of his mother in 2001, Ky made news of his own,” writes Hribal. “That July, during a performance in front [of] a thousand people, the orca jumped on top of his trainer and repeatedly pushed the man underwater.” The man escaped with his life but just barely. SeaWorld’s statement had the same familiar ring. They tried to pass the incident off as a silly misunderstanding, roughhousing, and dismissed any idea that the trainer was in danger. Here’s Hribal: “Witnesses did not buy it. As one of them explained, ‘the whale was staying between the [exit] ramp and the trainer and finally the trainer jumped on top of the whale’s back and leaped over him and another trainer caught him.’” What belies SeaWorld’s statement that the orca was in a playful mood is that the orca then turned around and slammed his body down hard on the ramp.

There are so many victims in this saga―the trainers, the captive marine mammals, the children who watched people die―but truth has been the longest-running victim of the lot.

If the only thing that SeaWorld understands is money―and it has made millions off the backs of orcas like Tilly―then one hopes that if public protestation doesn’t do the trick in shutting it down, the lawsuits that are sure to arise will.

Ingrid Newkirk is an animal rights activist, an author, and the president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). She is best known for the animal rights awareness campaigns she organizes on behalf of PETA, which she cofounded in 1980.

Anarchist murdered by the police in Athens

Courtesy of After the Greek Riots

35 year-old comrade Lambros Foundas was murdered by cops on Wednesday morning in the suburb of Dafni (south Athens).

The police claims that he was a “terrorist” and that he was shot while trying to steal a car, and that was carrying firearms. Fountas was one of the over 500 anarchists arrested at the Polytechnic riots of 1995, in Athens.

The flier above reads: “HONOR TO THE ANARCHIST LAMBROS FOUNDAS”

Please sign and promote this petition.  We have the right to see what UCLA is allowing the Industry Propaganda Network, Pro-Test for Science, to hide inside their laboratories. They have 1000s of signatures advocating “humane” torture.  We need 1000s of signatures demanding to see it.

If the nonhumans could fight back, their tormentors would have expired long ago. We have an obligation to expose the abusers. It is the LEAST we can do! I welcome your emails & contributions.
