FIRE SET AT BULLFIGHTING MUSEUM (Mexico)

anonymous report (translation):

"Incendiary attack at a bullfighting museum by the FLA in Guadalajara, Mexico

In the early morning hours of July 7, our cell, which has been hounded by the police, were faced with the task of attacking a site dedicated to pride in cruelty and pain, the Museo Taurino [bullfighting museum]. An incendiary device was placed at one of the wooden doors in order to burn this site of speciesist bastards; the device worked successfully and the fire spread through the doors and a portion of the building causing extensive damage to the premises and to the income of the place. We carry out these acts in solidarity with those who have no voice to demand freedom; under the human species everything is destroyed; we will go to war to stop this from happening.

WE CONTINUE FORWARD UNTIL THE FIRE OF CIVILIZATION LIGHTS OUR LIVES!

FOR A FREE AND WILD FUTURE

MEAT MARKET GLUED UP (Mexico)

reported anonymously (translation):

"Sites of death glued by the FLA in Guadalajara Mexico

In the early morning hours of July 7, our cell went to a market which exclusively sells meat and various dead things; 6 sites of death at this market were sealed with glue and clips and several pro-animal liberation messages were painted; these acts are claimed in solidarity with the actions of other groups that want change now.

IF NOT YOU, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN?"

WARNING LETTERS SENT TO SLAUGHTERHOUSE OWNERS (Switzerland)

anonymous report:

"Switzerland (Ticino):
In Juny seven letters with bullets inside were sent to the main characters of the MA TI SA (Ticino's new slaughterhouse which will become the main slaughtering centre of the region).

In the night of 4-5 July once again the big banner (last remaining) of the falconry was completely destroyed."

>>

PET STORE PAINTED (Mexico)

anonymous report (translation):

"On Sunday, July 5 the 'words into action' commando decided to take to the streets to address unresolved issues; we continued to sabotage telephones. This time across the road from us we saw a pet shop (an exploiter of various species who has profit as their goal), so we decided to sabotage it. We painted it with some words like, 'an animal is not a product, he is a living being,' as well as other threatening messages. We will continue giving them a hard time until this ends.
None the less a warm greeting to the c.v.n. in Tultitlan. That's all for now."

>>

KFC, PET STORE GLUED (Mexico)

anonymous report (translation):

"On Friday night, July 3rd, the FLA of Mexico went out on the streets of Mexico State again to act against everything that involves the abuse of animals and the earth. This time, our action was simple; since a KFC was still open with plenty of people inside, the two doors of this multinational killer were sealed with a lot of glue. A few meters past a pet shop received the same reception.

If these businesses do not close, we will close them.

ALF México"

MEAT MARKETS, TELMEX PHONES SABOTAGED (Mexico)

reported anonymously (translation):

"Sabotage of TELMEX telephones and businesses of death by the FLA in Guadalajara, Mexico

IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF JULY 2, AROUND 5AM, COMPAÑEROS FROM THE LEON GTO CELL OF THE FRENTE DE LIBERACION ANIMAL (F.L.A.) CARRIED OUT AN ACT OF GREAT LOVE, RAGE AND CONVICTION WHICH ENABLED THEM TO DO THESE THINGS AND TO BREAK WITH THIS DAMNED SYSTEM WHICH IS DESTROYING THE EARTH.
THE ACT CONSISTED OF THE SABOTAGE OF 5 TELMEX COMPANY TELEPHONES... LEAVING THEM IN A STATE IN WHICH THEY WERE UNUSABLE. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD STOP US.
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY, 5 ELECTRIC METERS WERE ALSO DESTROYED... WHICH BELONGED TO A CURSED LOCAL AGENT OF DEATH! SPECIESIST LOCALS, THE 5 WERE MARKED AS BEING FROM VARIOUS MEAT MARKETS. IN THE END ALL THESE ACTS CAUSE DAMAGE TO THOSE THAT ARE SHIT! THIS IS NOT THE FIRST NOR THE LAST ACTION!
WITH RAGE AND ACTION!
EVERYTHING FOR ALL!
A SALUTE TO ALL WHO FIGHT!!"
