RIOT AT BULLRING (Mexico)

anonymous communique (translation):

"During the demonstration on February 5 (the date on which the bullfighters celebrate the anniversary of the largest bullring in Mexico) various direct action groups demonstrated that the radical movement for total liberation is growing day by day.

The riots began when police attempted to arrest one of the activists; after getting away from the police ring, the walls of the arena were stained with red, black, green and other colors of paint thrown in glass bottles; the windshields of bullfighter's cars were smashed by stones and sticks; 'Shitty speciesists!' was painted on one of the arena's great walls; the walls of the square shook with the roar of a large homemade bomb, excrement was hurled at a barbecue that was being held by animal torture sympathizers; one of those anthrocentric bastards was physically attacked; there was a small clash between activists and the repressive police force; much later in the bullfighting museum their 'beautiful' decorations were attacked, smelly rotten fruit was thrown into the building and stones were thrown at one of the imbeciles dominating the earth and its inhabitants.

At the conclusion of the demonstration, 13 activists had been arrested and deprived of their liberty, so it is because of this that in this communique we express our full solidarity and support.

Freedom to people arrested for animal liberation!

Fire to the police, the bullrings and the prisons, along with their jailers!"

SPECTATORS, POLICE ATTACKED DURING BULLFIGHTING CELEBRATION (Mexico)

anonymous communique (translation):

"Autonomous individuals for the abolition of tauricide claimed acts of sabotage and vandalism during the February 1st march at the 'monumental' Plaza de Toros México:

- The painting of a police van with the words Torturers!, at a checkpoint on the outskirts of the inquisitorial plaza.

- Muriatic acid bombs were thrown inside it, which shocked the accomplices of bullfighting.

- Bulbs of red paint and oil were thrown on the walls.

- Rotten fruit was thrown at people who were prepared to enjoy themselves at the cost of the humiliating death of an animal.

- And finally a couple of reporters from the mainstream media of misinformation were bathed in urine.

We hit the walls of the plazas de toros!"

UCLA VAN PAINT-STRIPPED (USA)

received anonymously:

"Those UCLA vans aren't as easy to find as they were. While down south doing some homework on the night of Monday Feb 2nd we happen to notice one parked on side street in the town of San Clemente. The opportunity was seized and we applied some paint stripper. We wanted to leave the van driveable because we also stashed a small suprise underneath. Did you find it? Be careful.

There are now less primates in the halls of torture at UCLA but any is too many. Until the UC schools leave the animals out of it's blood thirsty quest for power, as we have said before, there will be no backing down on our part. Expect many more actions.

From the shadows somewhere close to all of you,

with love,

FULL COMMUNIQUE RELEASED FROM ELF ACTION AT UNIVERSITY (Mexico)

anonymous communique (translation):

"Complete communique of the action of January 29:  http://www.directaction.info/news_jan31_09.htm

In the early morning of January 29, the submissive firefighters in Mexico City (D.F.) quelled a fire within the premises of the College of Sciences and Humanities south campus (CCH Sur) of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). There a machine which destroys the Earth was left forever unusable, and the administration offices of the campus were burned.

The Frente de Liberación de la Tierra (ELF) claimed this attack through a contact; we were informed that the university had been destroying a large part of the ecological reserve where a so-called 'education' center is being built, several varieties of trees and diverse plants were cut down, considered to be in the way of their ability to expand their facilities, and their mastery over nature; the progress and education that they extol in their classrooms is always based on domination and anthropocentrism. In this act by the UNAM, it is more than clear that not only do they wish to dominate and mold the minds of students, they also seek to expand the same control over the land and the animals that inhabit her. That's why the destructive machine was burned, and why we also decided to set a fire on campus, now an indisputable part of the ecocide that education implements, which only wants to produce people who are submissive to authority and power; they create beings who are unable to think and act for themselves and are only educated to produce and consume.

The mass media of miscommunication, which hid the machine which had been burned, only now announced that part of the administrative offices had been burned, and that this had been caused by Porro (shock groups) [groups organized to discredit student movements]; we want to make clear that the ELF/FLT is not composed of such people, who are sent by their bosses to do absurd and meaningless things; our reasons are clear, as we struggle for total liberation (animal, land and human), and if anything blocks us we will face it until its complete destruction and elimination.

We know that the estimated damage of this action was thousands of pesos, but still we are not satisfied with that, and we will continue making war on all that oppresses us and will not allow us all to be happy-- us, animals and the land.

This was just a little message, for those who profit at the expense of the destruction and domination of the ecosystem.

ELF/FLT México"
