ANOTHER UCLA VAN OUT OF ACTION (USA)

anonymous report:

"Kudos to whoever lit that UCLA van ablaze a couple of weeks ago. Your action inspired us to look into these vans as well. You were right. They are everywhere.
We effectively removed one of them from it's location in Riverside county last weekend. The funding that UCLA spent on purchasing this particular van will be redirected to save animals rather than the torturing of monkeys that UCLA is doing. Awashed in shame and the blood of innocents UCLA will continue to be held accountable. Hopefully by a rapidly growing number of people doing whtever it takes. Activists: GET OUT THERE!!!"

TRUCK AT CHICKEN MARKET COVERED IN PAINT (Mexico)

received anonymously (translation):

"Mexico City (D.F.):

During the night of the 18th of this month, we struck two chicken markets;

At one:

We sealed the entrances with glue

At the other:

Red paint was spilled on the door and the windshield, taillights, rear-view mirrors, trunk, doors and even the inside of a van left outside the market."

>>

BRICKS THROWN THROUGH WINDOWS AT ESCADA (Spain)

translation from Acción Vegana  http://www.accionvegana.org:

"Bricks rain on Escada [ZGZ]

We were passing very calmly down the street when we saw some bricks, and facing an Escada shop we believed that it was better for them to end up in their windows than not to be thrown in there ...

Don't take the skin off our brothers and sisters."

>>

GROUSE, PHEASANT PENS DESTROYED (UK)

anonymous report:

"Up around High Moor, Ilkley, activists located two small grouse pens which were put out of use. The contents of the pens were destroyed. A fen trap was found nearby and also destroyed. Along the moor a line of stone grouse butts were toppled, and wooden butts smashed. Into the High Moor woodland, and a large pheasant pen was found, the walls were brought down and two traps tampered with, water pipes were cut and other items left broken. Feeders were also attended to.

This action is dedicated to the Austrian prisoners.

FUR SHOP SABOTAGED (Spain)

reported on  http://greenpeach.org/foro:

"A direct action was committed against a fur shop located in Madrid one day this month of July 2008.

The furrier was found inside a building. The building was entered and the following actions were conducted:

-- Sealing of 2 door locks.
-- Various paintings.
-- Informational posters damaged.
-- Other material damages."

>>

PROCTER & GAMBLE PRODUCT TAMPERING (Spain)

translation from Acción Vegana  http://www.accionvegana.org:

"Procter and Gamble attacked

A few weeks ago a well-known daily newspaper received an anonymous call informing them that several bottles of the product HEAD AND SHOULDERS (by the company Procter and Gamble), which had been contaminated with a substance to irritate the skin, were left in several shopping centers and supermarkets in the Iberian Peninsula. There was no way to distinguish them from the uncontaminated bottles and they had been distributed in various shops in Barcelona, Bilbao, La Coruña and Madrid. The same call reported that such actions and others will continue unless Procter and Gamble stops its involvement in the exploitation of animals.

No respite for exploiters. Britches Group"
