Arkangel (magazine)

Arkangel was a British-based bi-annual animal liberation magazine, first published in the winter of 1989. The magazine, which was sold internationally, covered global aspects of underground and overground animal rights campaigning, and promoted a vegan lifestyle.[1] The magazine is no longer active.

Arkangel Magazine #29. The front cover features the image of a macaque with the word "crap" written on his head, taken during a daylight raid by the Animal Liberation League, inside a Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) research facility in Kent, England, 1984.

The magazine was the idea of Ronnie Lee, the founder of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF).[2] While in prison, he regularly received letters of support and details of unreported actions by ALF activists. Lee decided to publish these in the form of a magazine, with the first edition put together by Vivian Smith.[3] The magazine continued to be written largely by activists associated with the British ALF.[4]
