Description: "The first anthology of writings on the history, ethics, politics and tactics of the Animal Liberation Front. Terrorists Or Freedom Fighters? features both academic and activist perspectives and offers powerful insights into this international organisation and its position within the animal right movement. Calling on sources as venerable as Thomas Aquinas and as current as the patriot act - and, in some cases, personal experience - the contributors explore the history of civil disobedience and sabotage, and examine the philosophical and cultural meanings of words like 'terrorism', 'democracy' and 'freedom', in a book that ultimately challenges the values and assumptions that pervade our culture. Contributors include Robin Webb, Rod Coronado, Ingrid Newkirk, Paul Watson, Karen Davies, Bruce Friedrich and others"--Back cover.
