ALF Ireland Takes on Circus Abuse

by Gaillimhed Wed Jun 16, 2004 15:23

If a circus was to give up its exotic animals the majority of them would have to be put down, as suitable environments would be difficult to secure for animals such as Siberian tigers and Crocodiles.
What reasonable alternatives to destruction could ALF provide for animals liberated from circuses?

Im not criticising ALF, just wondering what they (or anyone else) would suggest to do with the freed animals.

and central column barcelona indymedia (butonly in castellano for the moment click on the text brings you through to multilingual stuff on what's happening) they're breaking their word basically over in EU central.
& somewhere in that is the Mammy Harney and her effin eggs and friends with stock in "elan" the slickest celtic tiger initiative since kettles.

Tom Duffy's Circus sounds cool! Tigers and Crocodiles performing amazing stunts, jumping through burning tires and things like that. I saw once the Great Circus of Moscow performing. It was awesome! I have never been so amazed. They had bears, lions, monkeys, elephants and all kinds of exotic animals, even big funny talking parrot. How cool is that! Didnt matter that it only knew russian, i was still laughing thou i didnt understand what it was saying. It was so awesome! Hope i can go again someday.

You are plagarising my unique style of wrianting. Bugger off, c*nt.

That aside, I agree with your points-circus rocks, and it needs a special licence to keep those animals, according to EU guidelines. So the ALF are just pushing their own agenda again.

How does one spell 'plagiarising ' again?

clowns and performing dogs and parrotts of a multi hatted single group that has been active in Dublin for years.Seeing that the hunting and shooting season is over they have to keep their hand in at somthing.
I did post who they were earlier.But INDYMEDIA as perusual decided to erase my post.

have liberated mice, rats and rabbits from a laboratory in Moscow at the Lomonossov university.
This followed a month long campaign of harrassment, faxes, and so on, which haw sparked indignation from the university chairs of neurology, physiology and the Lab supervisor Anna Smirnova, who maintains the "liberated" animals will die outside the lab, and that the Lomonossov university has adhered to international ethical guidelines on the keeping of lab animals, whose purpose included amongst other things, the investigation of suspicious neurological processes associated with the type of people who allow explosives to be strapped to them and then blow themselves up for God.

Thank you very much ALF. You really are doing your bit for World Peace.
if the sarcasm dripped anymore it would clog my keyboard.

Aw come on! you dont really believe do you, that vivisecting rabbits in moscow is going to shed any light on the motivations for terrorism.
For Christ's sake man!

Anyway , Animal experiments notwithstanding -A new front in the war against terror ; ) have any would-be circus animal liberators got any suggestions as to what they're going to do with their Crocodiles and Tigers.
Like certain other 'Liberated', they may turn out to be a little difficult to manage and 'pacify'!

that they weren't vivisecting the bunnies,
they were showing them Chekhov plays and then gassing them to study their instinctive escape plans.
it transpires the most errant of the bunnies were Cherry Orchard fans.

Royal Society fears costs of animal "terrorism" will eat into research budgets
| By Pat Hagan



The high cost of protecting animal research facilities against acts of "terrorism" from extremist protestors could have a knock-on effect on research budgets, a leading scientific body has warned.

The Royal Society, Britain's national academy of science, fears budgets could be squeezed and researchers deterred from a career in animal research because of fears for their own safety, if action is not taken.

the circus buys it's bills and posters in bulk at about 10cents a piece so alf managed to destroy €3 worth of circus property. WOW good job that will teach them to mess with you guys.
