FUR SHOP ATTACKED (Finland)

THREE MICE RESCUED FROM PET STORE (Mexico)

anonymous communique (translation):

"Mexico State - July 25:

'Pet' stores are one of the preferred businesses of animal traffickers, and by being directly or indirectly related to them they are accomplices in incarceration, depression and the madness of these beings who were trapped in their natural habitat, placed behind a showcase, snatched from their families and deposited in small prisons for the selfishness and greed of the degenerated monkey.
For all this and more, a radical response must be given now against today's prevailing anthropocentric system; that's why in the morning of the date indicated the Frente de Liberación Animal – Comando Verde Negro (FLA-CVN) went to a pet shop (still closed) breaking a glass showcase and rescuing 3 mice prisoners there.
There is no excuse not to fight, preaching animal liberation is no longer enough, carrying out actions is essential.

This action dedicated to Sarah Whitehead

México: FLA-CVN"

MOOR SABOTAGE (UK)

received anonymously:

"Up on Denton Moor near Ilkley, we decided to get in on the recent action. A pheasant pen was found in woodland near the March Ghyll reservoir. The fences were brought down, a pulley system used to transport birds and other items up and down a steep slope was left broken. Feeders had their lids removed, and were subsequently lost. A large cage trap was cut in half and the inside was cut apart, bits of the trap were then removed from the area.

We found a good use for some superglue nearby, but don't want to spoil the surprise.
