Eco-Tourists Attack Scottish Halibut Farm

Activists from the hard-line Animal Liberation Front (ALF) have claimed responsibility

for an attack on a Scottish halibut farm (near Kilmelford, Argyll) last week which saw
thousands of fish "released" in the wild, and which are most unlikely to survive their ordeal. SeafoodIntelligence found a website which reports exclusively on animal liberation issues
and which has published the ALF statement. The same group - labelled by the FBI as a
"serious terrorist threat" - also last week targeted a wild boar farm in the Scottish Highlands. According to the eco-terrorists themselves, they proceeded in smashing all the equipment
they could find ('sinking cages'), including the farm's boat, and a crane was also disabled. Meanwhile, the Scottish police has decided to step up security and to warn fish farmers
about the new threat. Earlier this year, a trout farm had been attacked and lobster pots
destroyed by a group calling itself the 'Lobster Liberation Group'. This is a new extreme
development " and a long-feared one " in the opposition to aquaculture.
