25 WINDOWS SMASHED AT WAGENINGEN UNIV. (Netherlands)

anonymous report:

"In the early morning of the 9th of april, about 25 windows at the
WAGENINGEN UNIVERSITY vivisector office building have been smashed.

The ALF here by claims these actions.

Info About The Wageningen University Actions:

After 3 small warnings by the ALF in the past months to raise the issue
and show we are who we say we are, the University of Wageningen
first tried to keep the actions a secret.
But when an independant journalist began writing about the actions
the university went to the media. The NOS Journaal, Netherlands
biggest news show, and a few national papers reported about the
actions. Censoring and twisting statements they tried to make
everything look like terrorism again. They even lied about the fact
that people were personaly threatened.
This all fitted right in the new media sensation of the Netherlands,
Eco-Terrorism. Just as in the US and the UK now the Netherlands
shows what a police-state she really is.

Some lies that were stated in the Nos-Journaal and Één Vandaag Show:

-The Netherlands would be the new base for International Eco-Terrorism
(Stated by a man who falsely stated to work for the British police and
actually worked for the pharmaceutical-industry.)

-Legal animal rights groups who peacefully protest should no longer be
allowed to do so, and should also not be able to receive money from the
public. This is because these would be the same people as the ones who
go out at night for direct action.

-Animal testing would only be done when absolutely necessary.
(At the WAGENINGEN UNIVERSITY they cut open live pigs without
any pain-killers. Then they feed it a dessert-pudding and watch
how it makes its way through the stomach. Then they Murder the animals.)

These are just some of the lies they tell the public. So here a statement
from our personal cell:

-No animal, human or non-human, will ever be hurt by us.

-Anyone at the Wageningen University besides Vivisectors will NEVER be
attacked personally or have their personal belongings vandalised.

-NO ONE who took part in the actions in the past months has EVER
demonstrated or socialized with legal animal rights groups.

Animal Liberation Front."

PET STORE, SEAFOOD RESTAURANT PAINTED BLACK (Mexico)

reported anonymously (translation):

"The night of April 6 the ALF of Mexico decided to carry out sabotage at a 'pet' store; in the evening we stained their walls, floors and shutters with black paint, and we also left a message on their doors, 'Until it is quite clear to you that animals are not merchandise, we will continue bothering you.'

That same night we also sabotaged the facade of a seafood restaurant with black paint on all their windows, doors and floors; we also left a message, 'as long as you continue killing marine animals we will continue visiting your shitty business.' Although these are small acts of sabotage, for the exploiters they are a nightmare.

We will continue forward!

ALF México"

PRISON WALLS OF ZOO COVERED WITH SLOGANS (Australia)

received anonymously:

"On the night of Sunday the 5th of April, the A.L.F covered the
prison walls of the Melbourne Zoo with slogans such as 'Animals are
not your for entertainment', 'Keep the animals in the wild' and
'Animal Liberation Now!'."

>>

LOCKS GLUED AT MEAT COMPANY (Australia)

anonymous report:

"On Sunday the 5th of April, locks were glued at the Melbourne head
office of Ralph's Meat Exporters. The building was covered with
Animal Liberation slogans and A.L.F was painted on the windows."
