HLS CUSTOMER EXEC'S SHINY CAR DAMAGED (UK)

reported anonymously:

"David H Youds is a Business Unit Manager for HLS customer Baxter. On Monday 29th we struck against his property, pouring paint stripper all over his shiny car, filling the exhaust with expanding foam, gluing the locks and spray painting 'ALF' on the bonnet.

We hope Fi doesn't find it too hard to take Theo to his junior school this morning. Maybe we will come back on November 9th. You should have stayed in Stockholm Dave.

SLOGANS PAINTED AT HLS SUPPLIER (Mexico)

received anonymously (translation):

"September 28:

Without doubt partners of HLS have had different headaches which they caused themselves; well if they had cut ties with that laboratory of animal extermination the FLA would not have gone out to act. One of the partners that continues having ties with such an extremely speciesist lab is the courier company DHL, which received a visit from us; the glass of one of its offices in Mexico State were painted with different symbols of the F.L.A. and with the international slogan that said 'Break with HLS!'

This will not stop!

RETURN OF THE LOBSTER LIBERATION FRONT (UK)

anonymous communique:

"lobster liberation front returns to the south coast

Ahoy there mateys, its been a while since we had some fun down on the sandy beaches, arrrr t'was fun, we found them using our treasure map, and x marked the spot of the animal abuse. Lobster pots were smashed to smithereens and we hope the owners timbers will be well and truly shivered after the many dubloons worth of damage caused. We also hope that the scurvy sea dog is not a smoker as when he walks the plank back to his boat as there is petrol and other chemical spewing from the watery depths of his engine after our swords went to work smell rather like cannon fodder.

See you on the high sea's

BURGER KING TARGETED (Mexico)

anonymous report (translation):

"On September 27 the Frente de Liberación Animal carried out a direct attack on the multinational fast 'food' chain Burger King. Several slogans were painted on their windows, walls, light timers, signs, posters and other things as our radical response against the animal holocaust, and likewise stones were thrown at its advertising posters and two speakers were knocked down.

This is just the beginning, the answer is like this, radical!

FLA México"

MORE PAINT, MORE TROUBLE FOR KFC (Mexico)

anonymous report:

"September 26:

On the day indicated the Mexican ALF decided to again visit an old enemy, sabotaging it as usual; this time the walls of a KFC did not survive the many paints around the entire establishment, from the highway they could admire different slogans such as 'Meat is Murder,' 'You are going to burn,' 'murderous multinationals,' 'murderers,' 'this is the first warning' and symbols of the ALF.

And as we were not satisfied the lightbulbs expropriated from meatmarkets were thrown with paint on the windows, walls, entry and floors of the multinational.

The FLA not only sabotages, it also expropriates and carries out imaginative direct actions."

ALF attack in Hampshire - wrong target

03.10.2008 09:21

The ALF attack in Hamapshire glorified here ommits to mention that the target moved some months previously and thus an inocent member of the Public has had his car vandalised - this is a pretty good way to discredit the whole AR movment and allow disproportionate responses from the Old Bill.

Way to go 'ALF'

Hampshire resident


Set the record Straight

06.10.2008 08:08

I wonder if you could possibly help? ALF supporters paid a visit to my property a few days ago (See above) and indeed carried out what they said they carried out. Unfortunately, I’m not the person in the missive. My name is Derek, not David – checking the electoral roll would have shown that. I work for an Internet service provider in the hotel industry – not HLS and a check at Companies House would have confirmed that. Neither do I have any children so the school run wouldn’t have been a problem.

In fact I totally agree with the actions the ALF take and if you where able to gain access to the membership records of organizations as diverse as “Defenders of Wildlife,” “HSI” and “WDCS” you’d see that I’m a committed supporter of animal welfare.

A fact to remember: the real target of this action has suffered nothing.

If you could set the record straight that would be appreciated, regards

Derek
