Timeline of Animal Liberation Front actions, 1976-1999

This is a list of acts claimed by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) since its formation in 1976 until 1999.

Background

1976

Two years after Ronnie Lee and Cliff Goodman had been charged for the raid on the Oxford Laboratory Animal Colonies in Bicester, as part of the Band of Mercy, the "Bicester Two" as they were known; Lee emerged even more militant than before. There had been daily demonstrations at the court uring their trial, including Lee's local Labour MP Ivor Clemitson. He then collected up the remaining activists from the Band of Mercy upon his release, including another two douzen new willing activists, 30 in all, and the Animal Liberation Front was born.Monaghan, Rachael. "Terrorism in the Name of Animal Rights," in Taylor, Maxwell and Horgan, John. "The Future of Terrorism". Routledge 2000, pp. 160-161.]

It was reported that in early operations by the ALF, individuals targeted; slaughterhouses, furriers, butchers shops, circuses, breeders and fast-food restaurants, causing £250,000 in the first year alone.Monaghan, Rachael. "Terrorism in the Name of Animal Rights," in Taylor, Maxwell and Horgan, John. "The Future of Terrorism". Routledge 2000, pp. 160-161.]

1980s

1981

;SeptemberIn "Monkey Business", by Kathy Snow Guillermo, she writes that the first ALF action in the United States was the removal of the so-called Silver Spring monkeys, who were being cared for by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in a safehouse. They were kept there are after a researcher from the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland, had allegedly acted in violation of the animal cruelty legislation for laboratory practice. The animals were then returned five days later, after learning that legal action against the researcher could not proceed without the monkeys.Guillermo, Kathy Snow. "Monkey Business", National Press Books, pp. 69-72.]

1982

;December 24thThe president of PETA, Ingrid Newkirk, writes that an activist codenamed "Valerie" flew to England, after the publicity triggered by the Silver Spring monkeys case. She was directed by Ronnie Lee to a training camp for activists, who at the time was working for the BUAV, before returning back to Maryland and breaking into Howard University. Twenty-four cats were removed by the ALF cell she had founded, with some of the cats suffering from back legs that were crippled. [Newkirk, Ingrid. "Free the Animals: The Amazing True Story of the Animal Liberation Front", 2000.] Best, Steven in Best & Nocella (eds), "Terrorists or Freedom Fighters, Lantern Books, 2004, p. 21.] Lowe, Brian M. "Emerging Moral Vocabularies". Lexington Books, 2006, p. 92.] Rudacille, Deborah. "The Scalpel and the Butterfly: The Conflict Between Animal Research and Animal Protection". University of California Press, 2001, p. 136: Rudacille quotes Jo Shoesmith, an attorney and long-time animal rights activist in the U.S., who says that Newkirk's account of "Valerie" is not only fictionalized, as Newkirk acknowledges, but "totally fictitious."]

The OPRR initially refused to act on the basis of edited material and after more than a year of refusing to turn over the original tapes, PETA eventually did so.
