The UK and US governments labeled the group a terrorist organization. This argument has the strange property of, on the one hand, equating the loss of human life to animal life, and on the other, ignoring the millions of lives (both animal and human) saved due to animal research programs.ДЇrom its very beginning, ALF faced government monitoring. ALF has argued that if the Nazi concentration camps can be destroyed to save lives, animal research laboratories can also be destroyed to save lives. Tactics employed by ALF include sabotage of animal research facilities, through vandalism, arson, threatening people involved with this (or family members of theirs), and removal of test animals from laboratories. ALF advocates take ' direct action' against individuals, businesses, and even the family and friends of people who are involved in a wide range of industries that rely on animal husbandry and testing. Due to its participation in illegal activities and because of monitoring by government agencies, ALF operates covertly, though it has overt supporters. Anyone who adheres to ALF's principles (that is, 'liberating' animals without bodily harm to any living thing) can be considered one.ДЄLF is active in thirty eight countries. Those involved with Animal Liberation Front are called volunteers instead of members.

Technically, Animal Liberation Front is not an organization. It is a decentralized, leaderless, militant 'resistance' movement, with the goal of stopping what they have decided are crimes against animals. Animal Liberation Front ( ALF) is an extremist international animal rights activist group.
