Animal Liberation Press Offices relay anonymous communiques, photos and videos to the media about direct action undertaken by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), Animal Rights Militia (ARM), Animal Liberation Brigade, Justice Department, and other leaderless resistance within the animal liberation movement. It states that it will "explain and seek to justify any action, whatever it may be," so long as it appears to have been carried out "with the sincere intention of furthering animal liberation." The North American press office also includes a newsletter, prisoner list and merchandise page.
The press offices position is that it receives claims of responsibility from anonymous cells, and that its officers "do not engage in illegal activities, nor do they know any individuals who do." In contrast, a British High court judge described press officer Robin Webb as a "central and pivotal figure" in the ALF.

Wars are always fought for the best of reasons, for liberation or manifest destiny, always against tyranny and always in the best interests of humanity.

—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)

—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Reason is, and ought only to be, the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.”
