HOME REMODELING WITH NYSE DIRECTOR (Belgium)

anonymous communique:

"In the night of 6th October we went up to the house of Vincent van Dessel, an important scumbag of NYSE Euronext in Belgium. You live in a luxurious house with a huge garden. [...]

As long as HLS is still listed on NYSE Arca we will live in the night [...] This time we just paintstripped the two motorcycles in front of your door, punctured the tires and threw blood colored paint on your walls and door. We were with quite a lot of people so it gave us some time to redecorate your garden. We basicly threw around all of your nice little flowers and plants, we hope you liked it!

It is serious Vincent [...] Innocent animals are suffering and are being killed in Huntingdon Life Sciences. It is us who have to stand up and make HLS history. [...] It's your choice NYSE Euronext [...]

Make the right decision or we will be back [...] ....

200 PHEASANTS FREED (Spain)

from Acción Vegana:

"Last Saturday we went to a hunting research center in the Pyrenees. With two pliers and a few minutes we opened the fences of two large cages. Immediately we saw approximately 200 pheasants fly, starting a new life of freedom.

Animals are not hunting trophies nor merchandise of any kind. We will succeed so that all are free."

ANOTHER OREGON FUR FARM RAIDED (USA)

anonymous communique:

"In the early morning hours of October 17th, a lone activist
infiltrated the fur farm at 92659 Simonsen Road in Astoria Oregon.
About 1,500 mink were released from their cages with at least 200
of these being breeding stock. The fact that there is no fence
around this farm should help ease their escape.
This action is being claimed for the vegan straight edge
community. not as a self-congratulatory ego boost, but in the vain
hope that it might spur others into action. It has become apparent
that the combined tactics of record collecting, sing-alongs, and
militant posturing have failed to stop those who abuse innocent
life. once we accept this then we can stop squandering our
potential and choose a more effective plan of action.
I would like to close by offering a piece of advice to the
owners of this farm, to the owners of the other farms in the
Astoria, OR area (it was simply by luck of the draw that your farms
weren't chosen), and to ALL fur farmers:
find a new profession. fur farmers are a dying breed. get out
before you are forced out.

'your laws will have no meaning past the setting of the sun.'

ARSON ATTACK AT BURGER KING (Mexico)

received anonymously:

"October 19:

The Frente de Liberación Animal claims the arson attack against a Burger King. In the early hours of the date indicated an incendiary device was placed at one of the doors, and various slogans were painted.

No respite for the exploiters!

F.L.A México"

>>

SMASHING TIME AT FUR SHOP (UK)

anonymous report:

"A trip to Otley in West Yorkshire brought the windows crashing in on the 'fashion' shop no.6.
Better known as Mad Hatters, this appalling shop has been trading in the fur of tortured animals.

This action is dedicated to the recently imprisoned animal rights protesters.

A.L.F"

TRUCK SET ON FIRE AT CHICKEN COMPANY (Mexico)

anonymous report:

"Pilgrim's Pride is an American company that profits more and more each year at the cost of the suffering and exploitation of non-human animals; maybe this company thought it was immune from radical attacks in Mexico but they were wrong... in the early morning of October 17 one truck at one of its properties in the Distrito Federal (DF), was set on fire with gasoline.

The fire grows, it is not going to be put out!

Counterviolence destroying the speciesists!

FLA-DF"

POULTRY FARM'S VAN ATTACKED WITH STONES (Spain)

reported on Klinamen.org:

"During different nights in this month of October a central office of the PSOE [Partido Socialista Obrero Español, Spain's ruling political party] somewhere on the Asturian coast and a van from a poultry farm in the neighborhood of Embajadores (Madrid) were attacked with stones.

You destroy the earth; we the earth will destroy you and your symbols."

CHEF GETS A WARNING (UK)

received anonymously:

"Andrew Pern, a person known widely as a supporter of extreme animal cruelty, has just received a warning from the Animal Liberation Front. The Star Inn van had a dose of paint stripper whilst all the tires were slashed. The lovely new windows of his new building were spraypainted with 'Ban Foie Gras' as was the Inn next door, we also took the time to have a good poke around the customer car park, and his little deli over the road, just in case we need to go back.

It's time to put your skills elsewhere, using the fatty bloated livers of tortured ducks and geese will not be tolerated.

UCLA COMMUTER VANS CONTINUE TO BE TARGETS (USA)

received anonymously:

"There a roughly 12 (give or take a few, they'll have to find the exact number) of those UCLA vans driving around with unfired shotgun shells in their mufflers. Some of them may have ignited with the warm weather that we have been having. Most of them will eventually blow the mufflers straight off of those vans, it all depends on when the conditions are just right.
The security cameras, the easily timed late night patrols, and the new laws don't mean a thing to us. We WILL keep coming up with new ways to keep the primate tortures wondering.

UCLA vivisectors and collegues: You should stay on your toes we can and will come from so many directions.
As we have said before: Leave the primates alone and we leave you alone.

FOX HUNTER'S VEHICLES DAMAGED (Ireland)

anonymous report:

"Fox killers in County Waterford had their vehicles damaged as they dug out
foxes with terriers and lurchers. The message was clear, leave our wildlife
alone, the ALF is watching you.
