Animal Liberation Victoria Inc. (ALV) is the Victorian branch of Australian animal rights movement ''Animal Liberation'' operating throughout several areas in Australia. Founded in 1978 by Patty Mark, ALV is located in Melbourne and is recognised as a leading animal rights organisation. Its main aims are to abolish the property status of animals, institutionalised animal exploitation and speciest attitudes and practices; encourage and nurture animal rights education, and endorse the principle of non-violence. ==Activism== ALV was established in 1978 by Patty Mark, an animal rights activist. After reading Peter Singer's Animal Liberation in 1978, Mark put a notice up in the local milk bar that said ''Help the Hens'' which attracted 17 people and proved to be the start of ALV. In the early years of their operation, ALV set up information tables in the Bourke Street Mall, presented information discussions at schools and co-ordinated the signing of petitions. In 1993, Mark received a call about the inhumane treatment of hens at a battery hen facility in Victoria, inspiring the birth of ALV's Open Rescue division. Animal Liberation Victoria was the first group that made open rescues of hens.〔(Rescate abierto de animales ) Equanimal (in spanish)〕〔(Qué son los rescates abiertos - Rescate Abierto ) Animal Equality (in spanish)〕 Later, they have continued making open rescues.〔(In the name of animal liberation ) 25 February 2007.
