Animal Liberation Leagues were a network of animal rights organizations active in the UK in the 1980s. 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.〔Mann, Keith (2007) ''From Dusk 'til Dawn'', London: PuppyPincherPress, p.74.〕 One journalist described the Animal Liberation Leagues as "a sophisticated...development in the move to direct action".〔Henshaw, David (1989) ''Animal Warfare: The Story of the Animal Liberation Front'', London: Fontana.〕 Raids were often carried out at the same time as legal demonstrations. ==Central Animal Liberation League== The Central Animal Liberation League (CALL) was an animal rights organisation based in central England that was active during the 1980s. Over a hundred animals were taken by this organisation, mainly from centres of animal experimentation. They also took documentation and video footage. The slogan of the CALL was "Through The Door When They Least Expect It". * A fifteen-year-old rhesus monkey called Beatrice was the only monkey ever to be taken from a UK laboratory, by CALL. She had been used in arthritis research. * Guinea pigs used in burn experiments were taken from a laboratory in Birmingham by CALL activists posing as window cleaners. * A raid on the premises of Animal Supplies London Ltd netted van loads of documentation and found a fridge filled with decapitated monkey heads and bats. * Video footage taken at Oxford University Park Farm showed rhesus monkeys that had been used in eye experiments. * Experiments on rats, pigs, mice, rabbits, ferrets, polecats, primates, pigeons and sheep were filmed at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. * Roebuck Farm in Hertfordshire was raided in 1986. Documentation taken from here revealed that primates had been supplied by Windsor Safari Park, Chessington Zoo, and Ravenstone Zoo for use in experiments at places like Huntingdon Life Sciences. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Animal Liberation Leagues」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
