ARM
|
The Animal Rights Militia (ARM for short) is a faceless organization that first appeared in the United Kingdom in 1982. It is comprised of many radical animal rights groups working together in support of a shared ideology: what makes the ARM different from direct action groups such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), is that ARM members never take any precautions to prevent any casualties - in fact, many members believe in utilizing terrorism tactics, and for this reason, the movement is seen as much more dangerous.
Background edit
When the Animal Rights Militia first emerged in the United Kingdom their focus was on illegal direct action. The ARM formed the same leaderless-resistance model as the Animal Liberation Front. A cell may consist of just one person. The existence of activists calling themselves the Animal Rights Militia or Justice Department reflects a struggle within the Animal Liberation Front and the animal rights movement in general, between those who believe violence is justified, and those who insist the movement should reject it in favor of non-violent resistance.
Tactics utilized by those who follow ARM include (but are not limited to) arson, letter bombs, contanimation, death threats and vandalism - although these groups tend to target hunters, animal testing labs, and other obvious targets: for example one of the groups associated with ARM sent a letter-bomb to No. 10 Downing Street (the abode of the British Prime Minister) - this could easily qualify as attempted assassination and simply serves to further the group's infamy.
The philosophy of ARM is a simple but extreme one - simply put, the members of ARM do not care if they have to endanger human life in the pursuit of animal welfare, and are prepared to use far more aggressive tactics to further their goals.
