I have been thinking a lot lately about more action that I can take
in the animal rights movement. While I may or may not agree with the
actions taken by these individuals, I do believe that it is their human
right to have some support so that they don't get lonely, depressed or
despondent.
I ended up finding the list of prisoners by the
Animal Liberation Front, and another by
Bite Back. They both seem to be updated regularly and focus mainly on the UK and US. There seem to be no lists for Australia (although that could change with t
he meat industries here pushing for the same laws as the US has).
I then found a few places where I could buy cards to send to them
(funds are donated to charity and the pictures are of animals):
There are some great guides all over the net, with my favourites being by
Striking At the Roots (very thorough) and
How to do Animal Rights.
The main points to take from their articles are:
- your mail will be read before it gets to the prisoner
- don't talk about the case
- don't include any stickers or items that are not a letter, postcard or card
- don't be too bummed if you don't get a reply
- stick to one or two activists who you can talk to regularly
If you have any more information that I can add, please let me know so that I can keep this updated.
