Taking direct action is probably the most controversial aspect of animal rights activism even amongst activists. Direct action comes in many forms and can have a significant impact. But there also can be risks to the activists involved even to the extent of personal harm and falling foul of the law. While we would wholeheartedly encourage those who are prepared to take direct actin we would also urge caution too. Please be fully aware of the personal risks before embarking on any direct action. There are many organisations whose members take direct action to some degree. We have listed here those that we have encountered and worked with. If there are others that you feel need a mention then please let us know and we will add them.
