CATTLE TRANSPORT TRUCK REDUCED TO SCRAP (Mexico)

received anonymously (translation):

"Arson attack on a truck used for animal exploitation in Guadalajara, Mexico.

The meat industry in this region of our country is one of the most powerful; the state protects this industry and its exploiters, the culture of our country is rooted in speciesist customs causing animals to die unjustly because of capitalism and the ultra right state.

The Guadalajara Mexico FLA decided to burst into the early morning hours once again on Monday, April 17 placing a device in a cattle transport truck at the slaughterhouse in our city. The attack was successful and the truck was reduced to burned scrap, we are certain that we will not stop, this is only an example of what we can do, the economic damage was very high causing losses to the industry.

TODAY WAS THEIR MACHINES, TOMORROW IT WILL BE THE EXPLOITERS"

EGG BUSINESS DAMAGED BY FIRE (Mexico)

reported anonymously:

"On the night of April 15, we attacked a business of animal exploitation that sells eggs. We placed a small incendiary device which within a few minutes started to do its job. The upper part of this damned business was left damaged by the vindicating fire.

Let's give war to the exploiters everyday!

ALF México"

COMMUNIQUE RELEASED FOLLOWING FUR FARM RAID (Sweden)

anonymous communique:

"10 April - Eksjö; During the night of April 10 a mink farm outside Eksjö in south Sweden was visited. The farm looks like a junk yard with buildings which are about to collapse at any minute and old cars and trailers spread on the property. Only four of the sheds on the farm were in use and occupied by about 400 minks that were all released. Almost all of them were carried over the farms fence to give them the best chance possible to get away and not be recaptured within the farm area the following day. The action was completed after activists cut several tires and destroyed the cart used to gas the animals to death.

This farm has been attacked before and since the farmer hasn't bothered to wash the slogans off the walls from earlier raids we left without writing any new ones about the obvious animal abuse. It is not hard to understand that these animals can't act in a natural way and since the politicians still keeps their eyes closed and ignore the animal welfare laws we feel obligated to end this unnecessary industry sooner rather than later. Why should we follow the laws when the people that write them don't follow them themselves?
Every individual has the right to its own life and no one deserves to end up as a part of someones jacket.

When there no longer is any justice, action means everything.

– The wild minks"

PHEASANTS FLY FREE FROM CAGES (Italy)

anonymous report:

"In the night of March 18th a pheasant farm in Rivarolo Mantovano (Italy) was visited by FLA -Fronte Liberazione Animale. The pens were empty, but all the breeders were kept in 7 sheds with 3 rows of cages each, one over the other, constantly illuminated by artificial light.
The activists opened all the cages and cut all fences, seeing the animals fly free in the night sky."

>>

LEATHER SHOP, RESTAURANT VANDALIZED (Spain)

anonymous report:

"In the early morning hours on Sunday, a leather shop (where they sell clothes made of every type of skin for the trendy) was painted and had its windows smashed and the same actions were also carried out at a restaurant that bases its menu in eggs and makes jokes about the suffering of chickens; well it has cost them... both establishments are in the Malasaña (madrid) neighborhood.

We will not stop attacking those who exploit animals (human and nonhuman) and land.

Tierra Salvaje."

>>

PET STORE WINDOWS BROKEN (Mexico)

anonymous report:

"Conscious that animals should live free and not locked up in cages and fish tanks, dominated by human exploitation, the Guadalajara FLA decided to sabotage a pet store in the early morning hours of Monday, April 13. The attack consisted of breaking the windows of that place of exploitation with stones; the goal was to cause the most economic damage possible and it was acheived. These acts are just beginning in our city, they will not stop us.

AGAINST THE EXPLOITERS THE GUADALAJARA FLA WILL NOT LEAVE THEM IN PEACE UNTIL ALL CAGES ARE OPEN!"

>>

WINDOW SMASHED AT HOME OF VIVISECTOR (DELAYED REPORT) (USA)

received anonymously:

"On the morning of February 23, 2009, a window belonging to the UC Berkeley vivisector Fredric Theunissen was smashed. This happened at his home at 2141 Browning St. in Berkeley, CA.

The feds are arresting legal activists for free speech because they can't find the underground activists. UC Berkeley's fed goons don't scare us."
