Flaming Arrows

Writings of Animal Liberation Front (A.L.F.) Activist Rod Coronado

Beschreibung

Flaming Arrows is a compilation of writings by Rod Coronado, animal liberator and former Animal Liberation Front prisoner. These essays cover Coronado's first-hand accounts of sinking Icelandic whaling vessels, A.L.F. raids on fur farms, and more. Coronado is perhaps the best known former member of the Animal Liberation Front, jailed for his role in a series of A.L.F. arson attacks against the fur industry. Flaming Arrows includes: * First hand accounts of raids on animal research labs * Animal Liberation Front history * A detailed narrative on the A.L.F.'s "Operation Bite Back" * Letters from prison * And much more. Also included are excerpts from every issue of Strong Hearts, Coronado's jailhouse zine. In the last 20 years, Rod has been a source of inspiration and strength in the struggle for earth and animal liberation. Rod has served multiple prison terms, including a sentence for an Animal Liberation Front arson on a fur farm research laboratory. Many have read Rod's writing in publications such as No Compromise, Bite Back, and the Earth First! Journal . Coronado's biography Operation Bite Back was published in 2009. Flaming Arrows is a powerful collection of writings from one man who risked it all for animals and the Earth. "As Earth warriors, we choose to be participants in the ancient battle between good and evil. On our side stand the waters and wind, and all things wild and of the Earth. On the other side, consumed with greed and in persuit of power, control and money, stand all the dark forces that lay waste to Her." - Rod Coronado

Autor

Rodney Adam Coronado (born July 3, 1966) is an American animal rights and environmental activist known for his militant direct actions in the late 1980s and 1990s. As part of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, he sank two whaling ships and destroyed Iceland's sole whale-processing facility in 1986. He led the Animal Liberation Front's Operation Bite Back campaign against the fur industry and its supporting institutions in the early 1990s, which was involved in multiple firebombings. Following an attack on a Michigan State University mink research center in early 1992, Coronado was jailed for nearly five years. He later admitted to being the sole perpetrator. The 1992 federal Animal Enterprise Protection Act was created in response to his actions. The operation continued with a focus on liberating animals rather than property destruction. Coronado also worked with Earth First.
