(The ALF is an animal rights terrorist group)
There is nothing barbaric about what the ALF does. No human has ever been hurt in an action. They do not operate if a perceived threat to human or animal is apparent. They do not attack life. They only thing being attacked is the idea that it is ok to use animals. The only thing being attacked is money of companies who abuse animals. No one is being hurt except for wallets of people who exploit the innocent.

From Wikipedia:
2001: ALF activist David Blenkinsop and two others assault Huntingdon Life Sciences director Brian Cass with pick-axe handles.[14] ALF founder Ronnie Lee said: "He has got off lightly. I have no sympathy for him."[15]
2006: ALF activist Donald Currie is jailed for 12 years and placed on probation for life, for planting homemade bombs on the doorsteps of businessmen with links to Huntingdon Life Sciences.[27]
2006: The ALF claim responsibility for a firebomb attack on UCLA researcher, however the device had been placed on the doorstep of a house occupied by the scientist's 70-year-old neighbor.[28][29]
What if the research being done on animals benefits humans, like, oh I don't know, finding cures for diseases?
Keep an eye on ur cats.

League Against Cruel Sports. Their idea.
Foxhunting banned .
Theresa May Not - up to 7th June 2017 - had the idea of legalising foxhunting again. 24 hours later, that idea: along with everything else in her entire election manifesto, was torn up.
LACS won twice .
You could learn from their example ALF & TSS.
Well since some people don't care about humans, let's talk about the animals instead...
ALF are known for releasing animals into the wild where they starve to death because they don't know how to get food. Or they're predators who kill all the other animals, because the local ecology doesn't have a place for them.
I support animal rights but ALF are a bunch of pukes who make PETA look positively sane and intelligent by comparison.
Because there's no such thing as collateral damage, apparently.
@Anon-e-moose : Yes, yes, we get it, the UK is so fucking wonderful. You can stop now.

Speaking as a fellow Brit, I find it cringe-worthy whenever you engage in your liberal chestbeating about how "great" this country supposedly is. Because even as you say those words, children are going hungry thanks to austerity bullshit, hospital patients are not receiving the care they should because successive Tory and New Labour governments are slowly killing the NHS through PFI bullshit, and the government has been given sweeping powers to spy on its citizens through the Investigatory Powers Act 2016.
Oh, and our government, via its cozy relationship with weapons manufacturers like BAE Systems, supplies weapons to fuel conflicts like in Yemen. So it's not just ourselves who we are hurting through our shortcomings as a nation.

Did the League Against Cruel Sports resort to the kind of behaviour exhibited by the ALF: and stated by the OP?
Because if the LACS didn't, what is any other animal welfare group's - such as the ALF's - excuse?
That's what I was getting at.
The fact that our PM tried to make a bloodsport legalised: then because of what happened in last year's general election caused her to completely ditch all her election policies meant that the LACS further proved their point: so many must have voted against the Conservatives because of that manifesto point.
Thus the League Against Cruel Sports won: again. And with even less political lobbying on their part, then all other animal rights groups have to follow the LACS' example: Political means, and not using violence .
