Animal Liberation Leagues

Whereas the Animal Liberation Front specialized in clandestine activity, mainly masked, at night, and involving small numbers of people, the Animal Liberation Leagues consisted of coordinated raids, or 'invasions', by a large number of people, mainly carried out during the day.

Unilever research laboratories in Bedford was stormed by over two hundred animal rights activists and the same time as a legal demonstration was taking place at the front.

One of those convicted was Jill Phipps, who was killed in 1995 during a demonstration, when she was run over by a lorry carrying calves for the live export trade.

The South East Animal Liberation League (SEALL) existed in the southeast of England.

This image of a monkey with the word "crap" tattooed on his head was taken during a daylight raid in 1984 by the South East Animal Liberation League, from a Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) research facility in Kent. The BUAV prosecuted the RCS in connection with material found during the raid, leading to a £250 fine, overturned on appeal. [ 6 ]
