Mexico: FIRE AT KFC

anonymous communique (translation):

"On the night of January 20 the Animal Liberation Front Mexico (F.L.A.M.) placed an incendiary device in an establishment of this multinational corporation that continues the killing of our animal brothers and sisters on their farms of terror for filthy money that comes at the cost of the suffering of others.
These actions are just the beginning of what the animal rights guerillas can do."

Mexico: "MEAT=MURDER" PAINTED ON MARKETS

received anonymously (translation):

"January 21:

The Animal Liberation Front Mexico (FLAM) claim an attack with paint on a large meat market and a poultry shop called Bachoco, a company that has killed millions of chickens in its industrial farms, exploiting these animals and keeping them in precarious conditions even in the store. The bodies of those already dead were found on the ground in overflowing sacks and cages, giving off a stench of death.
These speciest idiots do not know that the ALF exists. We are determined to cause more harm to this company, until it collapses.
'Meat=Murder' can now be read on the walls of these genocidal and murdering companies.
The war on specieism will be brought to businesses like these.
FLAM"

Germany: ACTIONS AGAINST HUNTING

reported by activists in Germany:

"In Baden-Württemberg, the following actions were taken for animal rights:

1) 7 dwarf rabbits kept in small cages as children's toys were freed and are now in good hands.

2) A hunting tower used by duck hunters was destroyed and has not been rebuilt, which again shows that by destroying hunting facilities animals can be kept safe from the guns of hunters.

3) Various feeders for deer and wild pigs were destroyed and the feed collected so that no more animals would be lured before the hunting towers.

More actions for animals will follow; we look forward to 2008 as a year full of actions for animal liberation!

Germany: HUNTING TOWERS TOPPLED

reported by activists in Germany (excerpt from communique):

"The night of December 24 - 25, 2007 was not a silent night or even a 'holy' night. In the forest between Süpplingen and Frellstedt (eastern Lower Saxony) two hunting towers were toppled and three were decorated. Activists slipped into the woods, "armed" with a saw and paint to protest hunting and the eating of flesh."
