From rows of cages
Desperate eyes stare
Aching for release
Consumed by fear and desolation

A state of constant misery
Pain with no end in sight
A fading dream of termination

It's time / Right now
To put an end to this farce
That masquerades as science
Strike hard / Strike fast
Under the cover of night
Act now and break the silence

A world of pharmaceuticals
To justify their greed
A crass pursuit of corporate funding

A pseudo-science bought and sold
All with a failure rate
Of 92% and climbing

Break in / Break out
And to ensure there's no doubt
You've stopped the mutilation
Burn up / Burn down
Burn it down to the ground
End profit motivation

Since 1976 the Animal Liberation Front has carried out non-violent direct action
around the world, targeting those who exploit, abuse and murder animals. Tactics range from simple vandalism to property destruction, economic sabotage and live liberations. Any group of people who are vegetarians or vegans and who carry out actions according to ALF guidelines have the right to regard themselves as part of the ALF.

In service of a better world
Mere words are not enough
To bring an end to exploitation
It's up to you to do what's right
The animals demand their liberation

If not you, who? - you're the ALF
If not now, when? - you're the ALF
It's just a question of time - you're the ALF
We always win - you're the ALF

May all sentient beings in the animal realm subject to unbearable pain in labs throughout the world be free from suffering. May alternatives to animal experimentation and testing be used immediately. May Bodhicitta fill the hearts of those who imprison them. May all sentient beings from the animal realm who suffer endless days, months, years locked in tiny cages unable to move, be filled with peace and calm. May the many billions waiting in slaughterhouse lines be free of fear. May the hearts of those who work in abattoirs be filled with Bodhicitta so the very thought of harm is purified. May they never kill again and may the slaughterhouse lines become immediately empty. May no animal be afraid or depressed. May their bodies be free of injuries, disease and illness. May those who need homes, or who have been driven from them find shelter, plentiful food & water. May there be liberation for those tortured for fur, entertainment or who are hunted. May those who believe they are superior to our brother & sister animals develop perfect equanimity. And may they realise in their hearts that all sentient beings possess Buddha nature And they are not ours to kill or exploit. May the many billions of land and sea dwelling sentient beings who are abused, exploited and killed due to greed, hatred and ignorance be free of suffering May they experience complete and perfect enlightenment, through the virtue of my efforts and prayers. May I be a voice for the voiceless. In short, may all human and non-human sentient beings live together in harmony, peace and equanimity and achieve perfect Enlightenment quickly.
