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]] (<u>ALF</u>), 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. | The '''Animal Rights Militia''' ('''ARM '''for short) is a faceless organization that first appeared in the United Kingdom in 1982.

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. | When the Animal Rights Militia first emerged in the United Kingdom their focus was on illegal direct action.
