The Animal Rights Militia (ARM) is a banner used by animal rights activists who engage in direct action against people or entities that they consider to profit from animal suffering. ARM are known to have a more harsh approach. Unlike other direct action organizations in the field, they don't have any guideline warning against the physical harm to human beings. ARM activists believe "the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) does not go far enough...," regarding the ALF's guidelines of strictly non-violent resistance.[2] In contrast, the ARM does not have guidelines, instead carrying out political violence and/or property destruction in an attempt to further the animal liberation movement. This includes letter bombs, contaminations, death threats, hoaxes and destroying cars and shops using arson; targeting animal testing, bloodsports, other animal industries, political representatives, hunters, animal researchers and other individuals. The ARM is not a group, but an example of a leaderless resistance, as a banner for autonomous, covert cells to use. The name has most often been used in the UK, Isle of Wight, and USA, with cells active in over a dozen countries.
