===November 31, 2007 - UK - ALF HIT OXFORD UNI SUPPLIER

received anonymously:

"Over the weekend (23-24th Nov) We visted Nationwide Access in
Coventry. Nationwide supply Oxford Uni with truck mounted moveable
platforms used on building sites to access high up the outside of the
building. We cut through the crappy razor wire and popped lots of truck
tires. We sprayed 'drop oxford uni' and 'ALF'. Any company doing
business with Oxford Uni will have to expect this treatment.
Nationwide- Drop Oxford or we will be back.

ALF - Not one step back"

===November 30, 2007 - UK - BILLBOARD PAINTED, AGAIN

anonymous report:

"One of the billboards we had covered in anti-fishing slogans was
repainted by the owners and an advert for AXA was put over the top.
AXA owned shares in HLS so we did it all over again! ALF."

Note: AXA has sold its shares in HLS.

===November 29, 2007 - UK - FUN WITH PAINTSTRIPPER, TIRESLASHING AT CIRCUS HOST

anonymous communique (images from BBC):

"Over the last few years the Westmoreland Country Agricultural
Showground (Lane Farm, Crooklands, Milnthorpe, Cumbria; Tel 01539
567804; Fax 01539 567011; Web www.westmorland-county-show.co.uk) in
England has played host to a variety of animal circues and other
shows celebrating animal abuse. Last Thursday we decided to pay
them a visit and give them some long overdue payback.

Their logo-emblazoned Landrover was treated to a can of
paintstripper and all it's tires slashed. Next to it we discovered
a series of mobile billboards which we had great fun daubing in
various slogans against animal circuses and meat eating, and more
tireslashing. Other buildings nearby got a similar treatment and
various of their windows were put through.

While the spokeswoman of the show seemed confused as to why they
had been struck, let us make it very clear that, as in the news
footage, any venue hosting animal circuses is a legitimate target
of the Animal Liberation Front. While the Government is of the
opinion that animals in circues are fine, we are not, and we are
perpared to take action on their behalf. What happened to
Westmorland Agricultural Show is just a taster of what will be
coming against anyone else prepared to host an animal circus.

Animal Liberation Front"

[In a previous attack, thousands of pounds of fencing was damaged. Owner Peter Gott told the BBC: "We had 21 wild boar farmers seven years ago and now we're down to about 4 in the country - so maybe they're winning."]

===November 29, 2007 - UK - FOIE GRAS RESTAURANT GETS ATTENTION

received anonymously:

"L'enclume support the foie gras trade by supplying this appalling product to their customers.
A simple message was spray painted and the windows had glass etching cream liberally applied.

There is no longer a need to explain any action against a supporter of this trade. It is a trade that is clearly unequivocally barbaric.

Expect to be a target.

ALF"

===November 29, 2007 - UK - L'OREAL ADVERTS PAINTED

received anonymously:

"L'Oreal adverts were subvertized to point out their ownership of
cruel animal testing laboratories.

'L'Oreal Stop Cruel Animal Tests'
'For The Animals Killed By L'Oreal'

and similar slogans were painted over them.

Advertising companies like Viacom are just as responsible for the
suffering of animals as those killing them in labs. We will not
stop until all are free.
Animal Liberation Front"

===November 28, 2007 - UK - SLOGANS PAINTED AGAINST FISHING

anonymous report:

"A popular fishing spot in North Yorkshire was visited by the ALF.
Now when they are tryin to catch creatures from the water they can
read in nice big letters 'Fishermen Stink' and 'Fishing is Cruelty'.
A.L.F."

===November 28, 2007 - UK - WAR KILLS ANIMALS TOO

anonymous report:

"Slogans against the War in Iraq were painted so people can learn
that war kills people and animals alike. Places like Porton Down
kill many thousands of animals to test pointless weapons. We have
not forgotten the scenes of burning pigs and many other sick works
done by vivisectors at that hellhole. We have all the arms we need.

Animal Liberation Front".
