LEGAL AND POLITICAL PERSPECTIVES IN COUNTERING ECO-TERRORISM: CASE OF THE ANIMAL LIBERATION FRONT
Resumo
Objective: The purpose of this article is to examine the radical ecological movement, particularly focusing on its extremist and potentially violent activities, using the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) as a case study. This article aims to highlight how radical ecological movements pose significant threats to both national and international security. It explores the philosophical underpinnings of such movements, their methods of operation, and the broader implications for environmental and human safety.
Methods: A qualitative method was employed for this study, which relies on articles from scientific periodicals selected on the basis of keywords such as "environmental radicalism," "environmental extremism," "ecoterrorism," and "Animal Liberation Front."
Results: The ideological and philosophical foundations of radicalism and extremism in the public-environmental movement "Animal Liberation Front" were identified, including deep social ecology, bioregionalism, and neo-Luddism. The study also presents the methods and forms of extremist activity of this organization.
Conclusion: The authors conclude that increased attention and preventive measures are necessary to monitor and neutralize potential dangers posed by these radical groups, ensuring both environmental and human safety. It is crucial to eliminate the ideological roots of ecoterrorism and develop strategies to counter the growing threat of radical environmentalism.
