Bite Back is a Malaysian registered website and magazine promoting the cause of the animal liberation movement, and especially Animal Liberation Front (ALF). According to The Sunday Times , this name was inspired by the arson campaign that targeted the American feather industry throughout the 1990s.
Its founder and editor, Nicolas Atwood, has said that the Bite Back mission is to "support prisoners of human rights from conscience and report current events in the struggle."
The website also receives an anonymous communiqué of political Justice, including those by Animal Rights Rights (ARM), Ministry of Justice and Animal Liberation Brigades.

Bite Back acts as a forum for ALF activists, and where they can abandon responsibility claims for direct action taken in the pursuit of animal exemption. In 2006, it was used to encourage attacks on Oxford University, publish personal information about academics and called on supporters to "do whatever it takes" to "blow this damn monster off the planet".
In 2007, when a burner was discovered at Templeton College, Oxford, Biteback reported a claim of responsibility on behalf of the Animal Liberation Front: "This latest act is part of an ongoing struggle against Oxford University, and the continuing terror against an invisible victim in his animal laboratory. "
The FBI, while reportedly aware of the existence of the site, said that its act against it would violate the First Amendment which protects free speech.
In 2005, Bite Back published a "Live Action Report," a list of actions taken by activists on a global scale. It wrote that, in 2004, 17,262 animals were released, and 554 acts of sabotage, vandalism and arson were carried out.
