DRIVE THROUGH CHICKEN - ALF STYLE (UK)

reported anonymously:

"Chickens in the most remote of places do not despair, as one little lucky chicken in one of the most disgraceful free range units around was rescued by passing activists.
As they where checking out the units for future actions, one friendly bird made its way over to the feet of the activists. She was then scooped up, put under a jumper and carried to the waiting car and to freedom in her new home, everyone knows someone that has chickens as pets or could find a home for one or a few, next time your passing one of these concentration camps give a few of our feathered friends a helping hand and take them with you."

BUTCHER SHOPS VANDALIZED (Israel)

smashed.

HOAX BOMB LEFT AT MCDONALDS (Mexico)

anonymous communique (translation):

"On the morning of Oct. 14, in the commercial area of the town of Coacalco in Mexico State, a unit of the Frente de Liberación Animal (FLA), together with the Milicias por los Derechos de lxs Animales [Militias for Animal Rights] (MDA) and anarchist individuals for economic sabotage, left various slogans on the walls of a McDonald's, but not only that, something resembling a time bomb was left at the entrance of that multinational. One of the painted slogans read, 'A gift for 10:30 am' so the manager and other workers quickly called the cowardly local police, the fire brigade, the torturers of the federal police and the violators of the ASE. [Agencia de Seguridad Estatal (state security agency)]

All these bastards were alarmed by the planting of our false bomb, made of putty, wires and a wristwatch, because of it they had to close part of Avenida Lopez Portillo to traffic and the business did not open for a few hours.

All this we did as a response to the extermination of animals that year after year, day by day and hour after hour, is carried out by those who as humans take an anthropocentric view of other living beings capable of feeling and experiencing pain and subject them to cruel treatment that is seen today as something normal, like the simple fact of eating meat; it was our small but radical response to the ecocide that McDonald's and other multinationals such as KFC, Burger King etc., bring about to acquire more and more capital.

We continue forward in the same way on the international day against McDonalds, because we believe that it does not just depend on a single day to attack this and other multinationals, but that the conflict should be permanent, continuously causing damage through sabotage and direct action.

Similarly, this action was not only for animal liberation and the earth but also for human liberation; we want freedom for our comrades arrested and imprisoned in the confrontation of October 2 in the capital of the country; solidarity should be given to these different fronts, legally and illegally. Where are all those who call themselves radicals and who boast about social war? It's time to put direct pressure and to attack the fascist state of Calderón, to sabotage the shops who accuse our imprisoned comrades of theft, destroy the institutions that are accomplices of the state, set fire to the police headquarters in different municipalities and states, to take schools, prisons, factories so that the insurgency expands for the freedom of the prisoners.

This time it was only a scare but the next bomb will be truly destructive.

For the liberation of animals, humans and earth, sabotage and subversive direct action!
There is no longer room for words in the current situation, now only actions count!
We are everywhere!

underground Mexico."

BURGER KING LOCKS GLUED (USA)

anonymous report:

"A Burger King in California had all of their locks superglued three times in just one week.

Gluing locks is essentially risk-free. It is quiet and takes only a few seconds. It costs the animal abusers hundreds of dollars in repairs and lost sales. Anyone can do this. Activists, get out there and sabotage!

BECAUSE WE MUST.

-Animal Liberation Front"

LOBSTER LIBERATION FRONT - COAST TO COAST (UK)

anonymous report:

"Ahoy me mateys!
us scurvy dogs have been out on the high seas again, this time on the East coast.
There where many lobster and crab pots left in pieces of 8. the loss of many more dubloons will surely befall those who gather riches from such debauchery.
fishing nets found of the port bow where slashed as our swords glinted in the moonlight.
see you on the high seas!
EASTERN LOBSTER LIBERATION FRONT"

>>

BARCLAYS AGAIN (UK)

anonymous report:

"Two Barclays in Hamshire have had their white walls covered in bright red slogans, their door locks and a cashpoint comprehensively glued."

>>

SPILLED PAINT AT KFC (Mexico)

anonymous report:

"October 14:

A KFC was again targeted in Mexico State; its glass and walls appeared at dawn covered in paint. Action by the Frente de Liberación Animal.

Faced with animal extermination, subversive and radical attacks!"

>>

FEDEX VAN DISABLED (UK)

anonymous action report:

"A FedEx van in the South will not be making it's usual deliveries this morning as activists slashed all of it's tyres. A lock was glued and we couldn't leave without tagging the paintwork!

While you ship to HLS you make yourself vulnerable wherever we find your vans."

>>

FIRST OF MANY BARCLAYS TARGETED IN THE EAST (UK)

anonymous report:

"With cashpoints being so easy to do us here on the East coast popped in to town to glue up some cashpoints, with a tube of poundlands finest super glue squirted into each separate cash point and the remainder over the key pad. Three were done across two towns and be sure we will be out to do more.
With your current financial situation its like taking candy from a baby, do yourself a favour and get HLS kicked off the NYSE or we will help the financial crunch to kick you off the high street.
EASTERN ANIMAL LIBERATION FRONT"

>>

DHL VAN SUPER-GLUED (UK)

anonymous report:

"In solidarity with attacks in Mexico against HLS another visit was made for profiteers of torture DHL. One of their marked vans received super-glued locks in the west... ALF uk"

Hamshire - I thought it was only coppers that made such silly errors!

Also could this be connected to the recent raids?
