What does Direct Action Mean?
It means that you are no longer prepared to sit back and allow terrible, cruel things to happen. The cameraman in Ethiopia took direct action; he filmed the worst disaster that has ever happened to human beings. He realized it was too enormous a problem to handle himself - so he took the films home in the hope other people would help. They did. Are you prepared to sit back any longer? Direct action in animal rights means causing economic damage to those who abuse and make profits from exploitation.

START!
It’s possible to do things alone, slash tires, glue up locks, butchers, burger bars, the furriers, smash windows, bankrupt the lot. Throw paint over shops and houses. Paint stripper works great on cars. Chewing gum sticks well to fur coats. A seized engine just won’t start, sand in the petrol tank means that delivery’s going nowhere. When the new death shop opens up make sure you’re the first person to be there. If the circus comes to town remember what goes up must come down. Stop contributing to the abuse yourself - don’t eat meat, don’t buy leather. Buy non-animal tested make up, herbal soap and shampoo’s better. Try and form a group of people that you know that you can trust and plan ambitious direct action, sometimes risky but a must. Only when you have animal liberation will we obtain human freedom, when the last vivisectionist’s blade is snapped. It will be that one step nearer to peace. Direct action in the animal movement is sussed and strong, and our final goal is not far off.

Animal lovers, vandals, hooligans, cranks; recognize the labels? They say we don’t care about human beings. We say all sentient beings, animal or human have the right to live, free from pain, torture and suffering. They say because we are human and speak the same, we matter more. Is our pain and suffering any greater or lesser than that of animals? Human vs. animal rights is as much a prejudice as black v. white or the Nazis versus the Jews an affront to our freedom.

An affront to our freedom!
Vivisection is a violation of human beings, the same as it is for animals. We have a chemical world built on a pile of drugs to thanks for their experiments. Drugs are designed for profit, manufactured to suppress symptoms. Human freedom, animal rights, its one struggle, one fight. When animal abuse is stopped, then human abuse will soon stop also, an attitude of mind. "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind". Start by protecting the weak, the defenseless, animals, the sick, the disabled. Compassion and emotion are our most important safety values. If we lose them, then ‘we lose’ the vitality of life itself. Emotional? Hooligans? Cranks?

Song: Meat Means Murder
Album:

The factory's still churning out, all processed packed and neat
An obscure butchered substance and the label reads “meat”
Hidden behind false names such as pork, ham, veal and beef
An eye's an eye; a life's a life, the now forgotten belief
Yet everyday production lines are feeding out this farce
Just to end up on your table, then shit out of your ass

Yet, still you're queuing, and still you're viewing
Sawing out limbs just right for stewing
Carcasses piled up in a heap
Sort juicy chunks from freezers deep
Well can't you see that juice is blood
From newborn throats, red rivers flood
Blood from the young hearts, blood from the veins
Your blood, their blood, serves the same

Now you're at the table, sitting, grinning
Sitting there eating, you never realize the filling
It's served upon a sterile plate, you don't think of the killing
The furthest your brain takes you "Is it for frying or for grilling?"
You moan about the seal cull, about the whale slaughter
But does it really matter whether it lives on land or water
You've never had a fur coat; you think it's cruel to the mink
Well, how about the cow, pig, sheep; don’t they make you think
Since the day that you were born, you've never been told the missing link
