If these pinheads wanted to do the right thing by THEIR standards they should buy them and then make a choice to release them or to adopt them out.

ANIMAL rights extremists have been blamed for the theft of a flock of
chickens from a Crouch End allotments.

The initials ALF, believed to stand for Animal Liberation Front, were
found inside the coop on Shepherd's Hill Allotments after the
overnight raid on Easter Monday.

Bruno Dore, site secretary and a member of the seven-strong syndicate,
said: "These people are deluded cowards. They can't understand the
difference between factory farming and the keeping of a few pampered,
entirely domesticated birds."

The raiders ripped the fox-proof wire off the side of the run to get
at the hens worth more than £400. The incident has been reported to
the police.

Mr Dore revealed the syndicate had bought some of the birds as chicks
and ended up with too many roosters to keep with the hens and so had
been forced to kill some, along with any that became sick.

"We are fond of them but we're not so sentimental as to say we can't
whack one on the head occasionally because we have to - that is part
of animal husbandry - but these people will not accept that," he said.

The Animal Liberation Front pledges "to liberate animals from places
of abuse" and place them in "good homes".

Robin Webb, Front spokesman, said: "Although allotment holders say
some of the birds may have been rescued battery hens, the activist
would argue they are still being exploited. They're being held in a
restrictive compound.

"If it was the ALF, the birds would have been taken to private homes
to live in large gardens or they may have been taken to a sympathetic
animal shelter."

He added: "All ALF actions are by their very nature criminal under the
present legislation but many people in the past broke the law in
pursuit of the abolition of slavery and emancipation of women.

"The ALF believes history will show they were equally justified in
pursing the rights of non humans.



ALF are such sanctimonious ignorant pin heads.

I read all your posts now, Mira. Never fails to amaze me, how cut-off from reality those wackos are.
