" Burn the government not the cows! "
(CLF Manifesto)
We believe
in the following :


Our brothers bovine,
have been forced
into being cannibals.

This has made them ill.
They are now going
to be slaughtered for
humanities crimes!
To be a member of CLF,
you only have
to do one thing:
Believe in
what we believe in.
Ask your self
'Is this wrong?'
If your heart
says yes,
you are now
a member.
