The David Cantor and Responsible Policies for Animals Inc. Interview

by Claudette Vaughan
Ramsey Kanaan works for the collective AK Press in California. Their goal is to supply radical words and images to as many people as possible. How? By distributing for independent presses and bypassing the corporate publishing houses. We invited Ramsey to speak on Guy DeBord's anti-consumerism work, “The Society of the Spectacle”, as we were interested to see him put it into an animal rights context for us.

BURNING RAGE OF A DYING PLANET: The ELF Interview
By Claudette Vaughan
| From its inception in 1997 to September 2001, 33 year old Craig Rosebraugh was a spokesperson for the Earth Liberation Front(ELF) and the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). In 2003, Rosebraugh co-formed Arissa as a non-profit organisation, to build a revolutionary movement in the United States (see www.arissa.org). He also runs his own organic, vegan restaurant called Calendula situated in America's most radical and steak-hostile city, Portland, Oregon. He is an accomplished vegan cook. He disdains a prevalent view that, as he expresses it, “if you're for world change, you have to live in sloppy squalor.” He sees elegance, in fact, as consistent with ELF's sabotage – as a matter of “pride and dignity and caring.” |

CAGED BIRD LIBERATION - THE CAPTIVE SOUL:
An Interview with Lynette MacQueen
By Claudette Vaughan
The caged bird industry, promoted by pet shops and backyard breeders, is an enormously cruel industry. All birds have evolved to fly. In captivity they can, at best, flutter from one perch to the next. In small cages they can't even do that. Just think: birds in the wild spend time foraging for food - in a cage they have absolutely nothing to do. Caged birds develop neurotic behaviour as a result of frustration and boredom. They start to self-peck or mutilate themselves by pulling out their feathers and pecking holes in their stomach leading to death. They may also rock and sway from side to side, bob up and down, screech frequently and become aggressive. It goes without saying that there is a great need to expose this subject and get it out in the open. Lynette MacQueen, former director of Animal Liberation NSW speaks to Abolitionist-Online.

The Bernie Brennan Interview
Bernie Brennan epitomizes the animal activist whose individual diversity in activism can't be stopped. This is an unusual situation pre- Anti Terrorism Bill (2005) but it has a political foreboding associated with the situation as to what animal and environmental activists can expect in the future as Prime Minister Howard pushes through laws that will adversely effect and criminalise activists, editors, journalists and other peaceful political dissidents.
