"This week we made our third visit to the Somerdale Poultry Lodge in South Auckland. This farm is owned by convicted Animal Abuser Mr Van Den Bogaart.

At this 'Lodge' the hens are kept in almost complete darkness and are crammed into small plastic cages where they can not adequately stretch their wings let alone dust bath, play or carry out any of their natural behaviours.

We were able to spare 40 hens this miserable existence and they are now recovering in loving homes. They will no longer be treated as egg producing machines and they will be free to live as they please.

Later this week we visited a South Auckland pullet farm and liberated 90 sweet girls destined for a battery hen farm. These lucky chicks still have many of their yellow feathers and fortunately know little of the horrors that were in store for them. These young pullets are in good spirits and have been placed in warm, loving homes where they too can be free.

We would like to dedicate this action to a Suzanne Carey; our fallen comrade. While we never met her what we heard of Suzanne has left the impression that she was a tireless activist dedicated to the fight for animal liberation. The animals have lost a great friend.

For Suzanne and the animals.

ALF!"

TIRES SLASHED ON BUTCHERS VAN (UK)

anonymous report:

"Blakes Meat Specialists of Brighton, Sussex may have some trouble delivering their rotting corpses of murdered animals in the morning. Some people seem to have slashed each tyre several times.

You murder animals and you rape our planet, you were lucky this time we just slashed your tyres, next time we won’t let you off so lightly.

JUSTICE FOR THE ANIMALS
REVENGE FOR THE EARTH

KFC HIT WITH PAINT, WINDOWS ETCHED (Mexico)

received anonymously:

"March 11:

Activists from the Animal Liberation Front once again made our presence known, reminding national and foreign speciesists that we exist and that vengence for our animal brothers and sisters has come. Very early in the day we decided to attack one of the fast-food restaurants originating in the darkest interests of the American empire, KFC, which was hit with red paint resembling the blood of innocent animals and FLA appeared in permanent acid on their windows; this is not the end!

SLOGANS ETCHED INTO RESTAURANT WINDOWS (Mexico)

anonymous report (translation):
"March 8

Once again the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) made use of direct action to remind the animal abusers that we are here and we remain standing in this struggle. In the early morning hours of this day, militants of the ALF in Mexico attacked two restaurants but this time not with spay paint because it is easily erased. This time we decided to attack its large windows with hydrofluoric acid; the acid is highly corrosive and permanent on glass. The slogans MURDERERS!, MEAT IS MURDER!, FLA were what these bastards, who have no consideration for the lives of non-human animals, received.

Stop dreaming, direct action now!

Posted: For the speciesists with rancor, the ALF."

>>

SLOGANS PAINTED AT UNIVERSITY (Netherlands)

reported by activists in the Netherlands:

"ALF activists painted slogans on the welcome sign at Wageningen University and signs belonging to the Animal Science Group department on the 3rd of March.

'This is a warning to this sick deparment at Wageningen University: Stop all animal testing and all other forms of animal abuse in the surroundings of Lelystad,' write the activists. 'This time we stood on the good side of the fence, but be warned, it's easy to be on the other side. As long as you torture animals, we know where to find you. Till all animals are free. ALF'"

>>

ANTI-HUNTING ACTION (Spain)

from Klinamen (translation):  http://www.klinamen.org

"During the last night of February a group of people approached the Hunting License Validation Facility in Barcelona. We glued three padlocks that open shutters on the premises; at the same time we spraypainted them with the following message, 'First warning. Murderers. We will return. FLA.'

This simple action has only been a warning, to make them understand that while we are on the streets and animals and nature are dying, they will have difficulty continuing to exist and sleeping so tranquilly.

We think that there are too many targets to attack for you to stay at home quietly. This, we repeat, is nothing more than a small warning as well as a call to other groups and individuals so that they do not stop performing the art of sabotage, a constant exercise demanding your conscious body and mind. Small actions are also important; do what you think is necessary and what is possible. Pressing the dialog of action, you must believe that nothing is absolutely impossible. We sabotage it. They give in. If they say they will not yield, we will return to press them using other means.

What really counts is that the fight will not stop, because while you doubt whether to act or not to in this climate of chaos, haste, confusion and general contamination of the environment . . . . the clock imprisons us with the bondage of work, the human scum bastards attack women; land continues crying and animals surrender and are dominated by our absurd miseries.

For all this, death to the domination of civilization. Stop the genocide of the planet and of all beings who live with us here.

Animal Liberation, Human Liberation, and Earth Liberation, Here and Now!

FLA/ALF (Frente de Liberación Animal)"

ALF HIT ANOTHER KFC (Mexico)

anonymous report (translation):

"March 7:

A very unpleasant surprise brought managers, employees and police to 'work' on the night of March 7. One of the many KFC located in Mexico State was spoiled by radical activists brought together in the Animal Liberation Front; what they found was economic sabotage like:

x Walls with slogans like Murderers!
x Floors, walls and doors stained with red paint.
x Posters and announcements of KFC with spilled 'blood' paint.
x Lighted signs and cables sabotaged, painted and made unusable.

The worst nightmare of bourgeois speciesists has reached them....

Go vegan sXe!

ALF"

RESTAURANTS SABOTAGED (Mexico)

received anonymously:

"On March 6 the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) focused on attacking businesses that profit from the blood of animals. 3 restaurants in Mexico State where they sell dead animals, fried and roasted, were in the sights of the ALF. Not only were paints used but also their glass was sprayed with red paint and a grill was made unusable.

NO MATTER, SOONER OR LATER, THESE BUSINESSES WILL FALL BY THE HAND OF THE ALF!"

>>

5 HUNTING TOWERS DESTROYED (Germany)

anonymous report received by activists in Germany (translation):  http://www.tierbefreier.de/alf

"During the night of 19 to 20 January 2008 a total of 5 hunting facilities in the vicinity of Gifhorn were destroyed.
We sawed, smashed and chopped into pieces 2 roofed hunting towers and 3 open hunting platforms.

This action is directed against hunting in the woods around Wolfsburg where in only a few weeks many non-human individuals will lose their lives.
We will return . . . .

Sincerely, and with warmest regards,

A.L.F."
