BOMB THREAT AT KFC (Mexico)

excerpt from an anonymous communique (translation):

"The bomb threat during the night of March 24 in Ecatepec, Mexico State, against the murderous multinational KFC is a response to the inexcusable and unacceptable Holocaust of non-human animals suffering at the hands of international businesses such as KFC, Burger King and McDonald's. For their ways of torturing and killing our animal brothers in their factory farms they deserve to feel terror and intimidation by radical activists and actions that directly target their property and even attacks that harm the physical integrity of those who profit at the cost of the torture and killing of animals....

We are the Animal Rights Militia and one of our principles is to fight against speciesism, which is nothing more than an anthropocentric idea imposed on the human animal over all those other species that live around them, making them see them as objects, food, clothing or entertainment; we believe that the capitalist system is to blame for how far this idea has gone in the minds of people; the mind has degenerated to such an extent that the consequences are two other antisocial frustrations: sexism and racism have been created by the most inhumane and immoral system that is speciesist, globalized, neo-liberal capitalism."

MEXICO CITY LEATHER COMPANY PAINTED (Mexico)

received anonymously:

"March 22:

Very early in the day activists of the Animal Liberation Front gave the Mendele company its first warning; located on Etzalan Street no. 28, on the corner of Aluminio, Colonia Popular Rastro, near the Canal del Norte metro station in Mexico City. We decided to attack it and to cause the first economic sabotage in this store's history of terror and murder.

Thus, the ALF painted various slogans like SKIN=MURDER! MURDERERS! and A.L.F. on their walls which hide the desperation and sadness of thousands of animals skinned alive, the dying and dead. Liters of red paint were sprayed on the doors, walls and floors of this ugly company. This was the first warning of the ALF; they will beware of the consequences.

Until all are free!

ALF Mexico"
