Going Underground for Animal Liberation (England, 1993)

The early part of the 1990s saw a number of small booklets written anonymously by participants in illegal direct action and distributed widely to sympathizers “above ground.” These booklets varied in quality and ranged from interviews with people who had undertook small scale sabotage, to more theoretical works that dealt with the direction the authors felt the movement should go. Going Underground follows that latter formula, and offers thoughts on the meaning of animal liberation, the value of direct action, and the security measures one should practice before undertaking that path. The contents of this small zine were largely applicable to a specific time period and geographical place, but relevant ideas are sprinkled here and there inside its pages.
