Robin Webb
Robin Webb (born c. 1945) is an English animal rights activist. He is a former member of the ruling council of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), and former director of Animal Aid.〔 A British court ruled in 2006 that Webb was a "central and pivotal figure" in the Animal Liberation Front (ALF).〔 Since October 1991, Webb has run the British Animal Liberation Press Office, which releases material to the media on behalf of activists operating as the ALF, the Animal Rights Militia (ARM), and the Justice Department.〔, Animal Liberation Supporters' Group, retrieved 23 May 2006〕 He has said that his policy as press officer is "never to criticize any action, whatever it may be, so long as it has been undertaken with the sincere intention of furthering animal liberation."〔 This has led to criticism that Webb has appeared to condone acts of violence. ==Background== Webb has been involved in animal rights advocacy since the 1980s. He told ''No Compromise'' that his interest began when he started a new job at an electronics company located next to a slaughterhouse. Seeing the animals being delivered, and experiencing the smells and sounds, he found himself unable to eat meat. He said, "I made the connection; the blinds were torn from my eyes ... I couldn't eat a part of what I at last perceived to be an individual with their own feelings and needs." He and his partner, Margaret, became vegetarians at first, then three months later, vegans.〔
