NAALPO

In Their Own Words

The North American Animal Liberation Press Office (NAALPO) has this to say ...

Miller, Jason
NAALPO press officer, senior editor and founder of Thomas Paine's Corner

"Destruction of property, equipment, buildings, machinery, laboratories, and virtually any inanimate human construct or "resource" used in the exploitation, oppression, maiming, raping, or murder of human animals, other animals, or the Earth is not violence. It may be illegal under a system that fetishizes property and profits, but it is not unethical. In fact, in many cases it is the right thing to do."
(In "To dam the torrential rivers of blood and to silence the cacophany of their agonized cries ..." OpEd News (blog), July 5, 2009. Miller notes in a disclaimer that "While I am a press officer for the North American Animal Liberation Press Office and am an associate of Jerry Vlasak and Steve Best, I am penning this piece independently of NAALPO and all of my allies.")

"'Meat' is murder. As are vivisection, fur, dog-fights, cock-fights, dairy and egg production, and the rest of the myriad monstrous atrocities committed by the animal industrial complex around the globe. While the consumers and end users are complicit, it is the shit-laden toilet of the speciesist capitalism system that we need to smash into a million shards of porcelain by wielding the most massive sledgehammer we can find."

"Philosophically speaking, the animal liberation movement needs to embrace 'counter-violence to protect innocent beings' as one of many tactics in the war to end the animal holocaust. Attacks on incorrigible, empathy-deficient, sociopathic speciesist animal torturers and murderers by courageous underground militants are both necessary and morally acceptable aspects of the fight to liberate nonhuman animals. From an ethical standpoint, such acts would be readily justifiable as a form of extensional self-defense on behalf of voiceless, defenseless sentient beings."

"Just imagine how many billions of nonhuman animals would be spared at the cost of a relatively miniscule [sic] number of human lives if activists were to act as proxies in some instances and simply do that which nonhuman animals would do for themselves if only they could."
