Remember, these are the people who the Bush administration says are terrorists who need to have their calls secretly monitored without a warrant.

Anyone know where I can see the pictures of the uniformed liberationists with bunny? I need some ID if I am going to avenge my daughter.

I found the link, but 'Po's spam filter does not like it. So if you want to see the picture, you will have to type into your address bar, "http://www.20min.", then type "ch/news/kreuz_und_quer/story/29750427".

Missed a Darwin by this much ....

Memo to the ignorant who might have stumbled onto this site amid its extraordinarily intelligent regular visitors:

If you, a stranger, go into any cage containing a live, healthy tiger of just about any variety, your odds of being attacked approach 100%.

They will kill you. They will eat you (or, at least, much of you). And they will look SO darned cute while doing so.

Just thought you should know. Thanks.

Cæ, you can also use tinyurl for links that are blocked by my overzealous spam filter.

Thanks! Also I see from that article that Ananove is minimizing ALF's accomplishments a bit -- in addition to the bunny they liberated a guinea pig.

This reminds me of the Kids in the Hall "Animal Rights Commandos" skit.

Probably for many Swiss youngfolk, things are so comfortable that it's hard to find anything to be youthful and rebellious and radical about, something you can really put on a balaclava and be your country's version of Subcommandante Marcos for with pride. So, oppressed bunnies it is!

I also love how it's not the Swiss chapter of ALF, it's the Swiss faction!

That said, everyone should be nice to animals, and large cats shouldn't be in circuses.

It would have been cute if they had little ninja suits for the bunnies, too.

Apo, great killer rabbit photo, complete with human skull and backbone!

With this dastardly deed, any public sympathy for the ALF is bound to nosedive. It will be interesting to see if either the circus or the Swiss police choose to negotiate with these vicious terrorists.

Watch out for that rabbit, ST, it's got a mean streak a mile wide!

And then they ate the Holy Hummus of Antioch

I hate being the person who quotes Monty Python all the time, but this is exactly the Monty Python lion tamer sketch..

Counselor: Yes, yes, yes, I do follow, Mr Anchovy, but you see the snag is... if I now call Mr Chipperfield and say to him, 'look here, I've got a forty-five-year-old chartered accountant with me who wants to become a lion tamer', his first question is not going to be 'does he have his own hat?' He's going to ask what sort of experience you've had with lions.

Anchovy: Well I ... I've seen them at the zoo.

Counselor: Good, good, good.

Anchovy: Lively brown furry things with short stumpy legs and great long noses. I don't know what all the fuss is about, I could tame one of those. They look pretty tame to start with.

Counselor: And these, er, these lions ... how high are they?

Anchovy: (indicating a height of one foot) Well they're about so high, you know. They don't frighten me at all.

Counselor: Really. And do these lions eat ants?

Anchovy: Yes, that's right.

Counselor: Er, well, Mr Anchovy ... I'm afraid what you've got hold of there is an anteater.

Anchovy: A what?

Counselor: An anteater. Not a lion. You see a lion is a huge savage beast, about five feet high, ten feet long, weighing about four hundred pounds, running forty miles per hour, with masses of sharp pointed teeth and nasty long razor-sharp claws that can rip your belly open before you can say 'Eric Robinson', and they look like this.

Don't worry, M/tch had already taken this thread into the gutter.

But but, APOSTROPHER started it!!! Where do you think that picture up there is from, you clowny tool???

And anyway, what's wrong with quoting Monty Python? Fontana's not around, is he?

(I'd add a link to the apposite thread, but the hoohole has once again triumphed)

This is one of those Spinal Tappy moments, when a group of people acts so insanely clueless and silly, and yet, is so oblivious, so wrapped up in their own world so as to be 100% serious.

Reminds me of some guy I saw on TeeVee who plays a full set rock drum kit out in his backyard in the Oregon Cascades on a frigid night so he can attract Big Foot.

Or the old geezer out in Nevada who runs a little place where, for a small fee, he will put on a big hat and then psychically channel an Alien Visitor named "Coltron" who hangs out around Area 51.

Or the guy on an old show called "Real People" drove around his hometown in a little tank and lived in a bomb shelter "because when the Russians come, you gotta be prepared."

More fabulous freaks. I love it!

They ought to be in a documentary or something.

If you haven't seen Vernon, Florida, go rent it forthwith.

I wonder of they threatened the guards with their Swiss Army knives to get to the tiger. Nah, they probably can't work all those gadgets. They probably forced the guard to open the cage with a phillips screwdriver attachment at his neck?

The guard, immediately recognizing their incompetence, opens the rabbit cage instead and runs off. The triumphant ALF dudes revel in their victorious abduction...
