THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF FUR JACKETS RUINED (Canada)

communique received anonymously:

"This is a message to ALL Canadians who do not support animal cruelty, we have a confession AND a challenge for you.

$25000 worth of cheap winter jackets with REAL fur trim on them have been sabotaged at Winner's locations all accross Canada.

Winners sells jackets with real rabbit, fox, mink, and DOG fur all sourced from animals raised on hellish fur farms in China.

These jackets with real fur are mixed in amoung jackets with FAUX fur, they are poorly labelled and some of them are not labelled at all, making it extremely difficult for shoppers to recognize. The majority of their customers have no idea they are buying real fur from tortured animals at all.

There is footage available on the internet of rabbits and raccoon dogs being killed on chinese fur farms and it shows that the animals remained consious while they were being skinned, screaming and writhing in pain as their skin is being cut off them, one animal was even filmed trying to bite a chinese fur farmer as he finished skinning her and some of the animals were still alive long after their skin was removed and they were thrown in the dead pile.

Winners has been contacted many times by concerned Canadians and their answer to this concern and complaints was 'As long as it is in style we will continue to sell it.'

The jackets were destroyed with razor blades, car keys, glue and chewing gum.

We would like to challenge all other compassionate poeple to do the same, target ALL Winners locations accross Canada in an effort to show the powers that be: WE DEMAND YOU GO FUR FREE NOW AND WE WILL NOT NEGOTIATE.

WE ENCOURAGE ALL ACTS OF NON VIOLENT ECONOMIC SABOTAGE AGAINST WINNERS AND THEIR OTHER COMPANY HOME SENSE.

As long as animals are being skinned alive and sold for profit inside Winners, we challenge all who care, to commit economic sabotage against these blood thirsty monsters until they agree to pull all fur from the store.

THERE IS NO JUSTICE, JUST US."

WINDOWS OF HUNTERS CAR'S SMASHED (Italy)

anonymous report:

"Rieti, Italy

To welcome the new year, saturday 3th january we have smashed windows of nine cars of hunters.
We want it'll be a year of freedom!"

THREE DUCKS RESCUED (Mexico)

anonymous communique (translation):

"January 11:

The Catholic church is one of the most cowardly and manipulative institutions that anthropocentric human existence has had, that justifies the murderous speciesism that plagues all animal species today, with the prostituted writings of its book called the Bible.

In Mexico, many people's beliefs tend toward Catholic fanaticism, for many years the priests have almost completely destroyed the instincts of wild freedom, replacing them with religious moral monotony and the fear of 'spiritual hell,' many of these fanatic people are capable of the very worst in order to defend their dogmatic positions and their 'holy' churches, but we the Frente de Liberación Animal – Comando Verde Negro wanted to confront this threat so in the evening of the date indicated we cut a fence that had protected one of the many churches in Mexico State which had imprisoned some animals and we managed to rescue 3 ducks that surely would have been tortured and killed by these religious bastards.

After their rescue we transported the ducks to their natural habitat, where they can now enjoy their freedom without bars and without poor treatment, where they can swim and eat what they need.

Take a risk, dare yourself, and you will achieve animal liberation!

FLA-CVN"

DEVICES MAILED TO PRIMATE RESEARCHERS (USA)

reported anonymously:

"The California National Primate Research Center, associated with UC Davis, currently imprisons and experiments on over 4,700 non-human primates. This alone is enough to force us into action. These animals are subjects of pure torture. They are forced to inhale deadly toxins; subject to studies of chronic stress. They are subject to painful reproductive experiments, and have their babies stolen from them as they cry in agony.

We are the Revolutionary Cells Animal Liberation Brigade and we could not stand by and let the atrocities continue.
We chose two primate vivisectors and mailed them letter-bombs.

These individuals are Edward Schelegle at 3220 Oyster Bay Ave in Davis. Schelegle tortures intelligent primates in painful respiratory experiments that bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars for him and the university.

The other device was mailed to Catherine Vandevoort at 44601 El Macero DR in Davis. Vandevoort conducts tortorous reproductive experiments on female primates.

This is not a hoax. Look at what we did to Chiron. Look at what we've done to Arthur Rosenbaum's BMW in LA.

This is the beginning of our campaign against UC Davis and the CNPRC and we will not end until the torture and killing of primates ends.

Dallas, Marta, Alice, and the rest of the crew; how are you sleeping at night?

MEAT MARKETS, PET STORES PAINTED (Mexico)

anonymous report:

"On January 9 the Animal Liberation Front attacked more than 10 businesses related to animal exploitation in Mexico State with various graffiti; meat markets, poultry markets, pet stores and others were painted with symbols of the FLA and slogans such as 'Meat is murder', 'torturers', 'murderers,' 'Damn speciesists!' among others.

A happy new year of attacks!

SABOTAGE TARGETING TELMEX: BULLFIGHT SPONSOR AND EARTH DESTROYER (Mexico)

received anonymously:

"January 8:

More than 15 Telmex phones have been covered with spray paint, and their buttons, screens, the phone booths and the handsets sabotaged.

These actions are in support of animal and earth liberation since the Telmex company, in addition to sponsoring bullfights and other acts of animal humiliation and torture, is one of those responsible for the destruction of the earth in Mexico.

Their offenses against the earth will not be left unpunished!

VIVISECTORS MAIL DISRUPTED? (USA)

anonymous report:

"UC Berkeley primate vivisectors Jack Gallant and Yang Dan (who also kills cats and rodents in her laboratory) had all of their mail re-directed to addresses in Florida.

Here's how:
We attained Change of Address forms, which are available in the lobby of any post office in the U.S., and filled them out in their names.

We're sure the 'problems' have been corrected by now, but we have plenty more tricks up our sleeves reserved for the animal killers.

Disrupt the lives of animal abusers in your town in big and small ways,

----Students for animal liberation"
