Animal Liberation Front Claims Duck Liberation
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Eastport, NY - The Animal Liberation Front officially claimed responsibility
for the liberation of over 200 ducklings from a Cornell lab late Monday
evening in a Communique released to the ALF Press Office. The underground activists
give their reasons for targeting the Cornell University Duck Laboratory on
Sat. April 28, and have refuted Cornell researchers' claims that the ducks are in
any danger in the hands of animal activists.
The sharply-worded letter explains clearly that the activists opposed the
research because the end result was to "allow farmers to have a quicker
growth rate of their ducks and allow their ducks to survive even further torture
under smaller confines of battery farming."
"The ALF are opposed to factory farming of all animals, and any
industry-related research is only meant to further increase profits at the
expense of animal suffering," comments David Barbarash, ALF spokesperson.
Indeed, the Communique affirms the activsts' intentions to level a "damaging
blow" against the duck farming industry. They further state that the ducks
have been brought to a sanctuary in another part of the country, where they can
live their lives "in peace and serenity."
The following is the text of the Communique:
"Communique for 4/28 Lab Raid
On the evening of Saturday, April 28th Animal Liberation Front activists
liberated 232 3-month old ducklings from the Cornell Duck research Laboratory
located on Old Country Road in Westhampton, Long Island. The action
served to both liberate these beautiful creatures from exploitation, abuse and terror,
and to provide a damaging blow to factory duck farming industries.
The Cornell University Duck Laboratory works to provide vaccines,
hormones, and supplement technology to factory farmers in order to maximize their profits.
This research will allow farmers to have a quicker growth rate of their ducks
and allow their ducks to survive even further torture under smaller
confines of battery farming. This research is not "pro-animal" it rather maximizes
profits for an industry of animal murder, animal exploitation, environmental
degradation, and greed.
To rebut the ludicrous claims made by the lab, all ducks were brought
cross-country to a sanctuary where they will live their lives on many
acres in peace and serenity, with the care of veterinarians, ample food, and most of
all, free of fear of violence and murder.
The ALF"
The Animal Liberation Front is an international underground movement of
compassionate people who work anonymously to rescue animals from places of
abuse, and to cause financial damage to animal abuse industries through a
strategy of non-violent property destruction. In the twenty years of ALF
actions there has never been any injury or death caused to any animal or
human in the course of their actions.
The ALF Press Office is an independent above-ground organization which
supports the ALF by communicating with the media regarding actions and history of the
movement. Further information is available at the number below.
