COUNCILLOR'S CARS ATTACKED IN PROTEST OF GROUSE SHOOTS (UK)
COUNCILLOR'S CARS ATTACKED IN PROTEST OF GROUSE SHOOTS (UK)


received anonymously (photo from the Ilkley Gazette):

"Persons unknown recently visited the property of self serving Councillor Anne Hawkesworth. The two cars in the driveway were paint stripped and had their tyres slashed.

The entire council is responsible for choosing to turn Ilkley Moor into a blood bath. Doubtless many will be queueing to spectate when the shotguns come to blast these birds out of the sky. In the meantime the moor will be managed in such a way as to promote the growth of grouse, while terminating the existence of many of their predators, who have an equal right to exist in this habitat.

We have already called for Ilkley Moor to be a wildlife haven, and have been ignored. This is the use of public land to allow the 'fun and games' of a few sadists led by Ed Bromet (Bingley Moor Partnership) and is, as we have said, completely unacceptable.

WALLS OF POULTRY BUSINESS COVERED IN OIL (Mexico)

"On the night of January 25, a major poultry business was attacked by the Frente de Liberación Animal de Puebla, México.

Its logo, white walls, shutters and its canvas advertising signs were covered with automobile oil; also written on the walls: 'Meat is torture,' 'shitty speciesists', and 'we are going to burn you.'

Sabotage is a method, the destruction of their order is our end!

FIRE TO THE FUR INDUSTRY (Uruguay)

anonymous communique (translation):

"In the early days of January we warned a fur shop located in the vicinity of downtown that we reject their business for being based on animal exploitation; we grafittied the windows and walls of the place with words and phrases referring to animal liberation .... ....
The following week the location was continuing to sell the remains of dead animals as if they were clothes, so we decided to pay another visit, throwing paint bombs at advertising posters at the entrance.
The business remained open so on one of the nights last week we decided to enlighten the place with the beautiful flames of freedom ..............
The windows ended up completely destroyed due to the heat and a considerable amount of merchandise was damaged by the fire; we also dropped leaflets announcing our rejection of any form of exploitation

fire to the fur industry!
fire to everything that oppresses us, other animals and the earth !!!!!!

Montevideo, Uruguay."

ZOO GATES GLUED AND PAINTED RED (Uruguay)

anonymous report:

"One night in the first weeks of January we decided to decorate the zoo in Villa Dolores. On the gates of this jail, we graffitied LIBERACION ANIMAL and launched several red paint bombs on the huge, three-dimensional ZOO sign, while at the same time we stained the walls and floor of the place with several liters of red paint. We also sealed the locks with glue and threw several leaflets explaining why we reject this space.

BRING DOWN THE WALLS OF THE PRISONS AND ZOOS!!!!
