From Voice of the Voiceless A list of every known U.S. Animal Liberation Front fur farm raid This took some work to compile, but here it is: a list of every reported fur farm raid in the United States. From the first (incomplete) report of a fur farm raid in 1986, to the most recent: 400 mink liberated from a fur farm outside Seattle. Most of these were claimed by the Animal Liberation Front, while many were not. This info was compiled from two sources: A.L.F. Complete Diary of Actions book, and Bite Back. The final tally: http://www.voiceofthevoiceless.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/SpainminkOct14a1.jpg
