CHICKEN LIBERATION DEDICATED TO PRISONER SEAN KIRTLEY (UK)

anonymous report:

"Activists liberated 27 chickens from a factory farm in the UK on the 5th of June. These chickens were less than a fortnight away from being taken to the abbatoir. Although all of the chickens were in a terrible state after the weeks of terrible conditions in their overcrowded hell-hole they took to their first few days of freedom well scratching around in the dirt and feeling the warm June air.

This action was carried out by 6 individuals in response to the unjust imprisonment of UK activist Sean Kirtley by a kangaroo court. This was their first liberation, it won't be their last."

SLAUGHTERHOUSE RAID (France)

received anonymously (rough translation):

"On the night of June 7, we went to Fontiers-Cabardès, a small village in southern France, where there is a small slaughterhouse. After having used all our sophistication and our tricks to enter the building (by turning the door handle, which was not locked), we were free to cause a happy little mess! We poured all sorts of filth on the bodies that we found (sorry to desecrate your bodies even further, but it is for your good), so if we were consumers, we would avoid eating chicken or rabbit... It seems normal to us that poisoned "food" should not be sold freely, it also seems normal to be vegetarian/vegan...

We carried away a few keepsakes: all the keys of the slaughterhouse that we could find. We hope that the keys to enter the
building were part of the lot. But that does not change the fact that we will return.

Vive l'ALF!"

HUNTING TOWER TORCHED (Italy)

received anonymously:

"Emilia Region.

A.L.F."

HUNDREDS FREED (Sweden)

anonymous report:

"03/06/2008 Vasteras: On the night of the third of june we entered the biggest breeder of pheasants in Sweden, NB Fasaneri, outside Vasteras. We cut a big hole in the fence that surrounds the farm and snuck up to the fifty meter long outside cage that kept hundreds of birds jailed, all of the farms breeding pheasants. After starting by cuting a hole in the cage so we could enter we then cut all the netting on the top that was keeping the birds from escaping. When we were finished we could see one after another flying off to freedom beyond the cage and beyond the farm. Several hundred pheasants flew to freedom that night from the cage that used to entrap them in the wait for the brutal hunt and slaughter but this time not a single gun shot could be heared. - DBF

ACTION DEDICATED TO IMPRISONED AUSTRIAN ACTIVISTS (Mexico)

anonymous communique (translation):

"Coca-Cola, one of the American multinationals responsible for the destruction of our planet, complicit in the exploitation and theft of water from indigenous communities (Chiapas), generating human exploitation by forcing children to work more than 10 hours a day in their sugarcane crops (El Salvador), massive pollution of rivers with toxic products (India), contractor of paramilitary groups that killed union workers (Colombia), financer of death by voluntarily giving a portion of their profits to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, racist since the days of Nazi Germany, partnering with large magnates and multinationals such as Nestle, McDonalds, Chrysler, Texaco, (likewise) responsible for global warming, the brutal exploitation of the land and the food crisis afflicting the world today, should be a primary objective for all those combatants who are fighting against the many aberrations and for the liberation of the land, animals and humans, because this global company alone is an example of the influence of the capitalist system on its owners, the extreme abuse of power and the advancing of its global control over many innocents.
Hence the Frente de Liberación de la Tierra has taken firm action against this scourge; in the evening of June 5 the walls of the company were splashed with paint with a special stench, the vehicles of the administrators were likewise victims of our first but not last attack.
We will return but with even more force.

Dedicated to the fighters of Austria = recently imprisoned by the fascist state of that country.
Forward!

CIRCUS POSTERS DESTROYED (Ireland)

reported anonymously:

"Due to the continued use of animals in their shows. Duffys and Vegas circuses have had over 70 signs destroyed in North-West Dublin to cause them financial costs. Animals in the circus are deprived of a natural environment and many spend hours in cages or chained up, this is unacceptable.

For animal liberation."

11 CHICKS LIBERATED (Italy)

anonymous report:

"Emilia Region - Italy - 15th May

Eleven chicks were liberated from a small farm.

A.L.F."

MORE STOCKHOLM MADNESS (Sweden)

reported by activists in Sweden:

"Stockholm.

May 31st; 30 circus posters torn down. A passing taxi driver
gives it the thumbs up! - Stockholm circus demolition

June 2nd; Furrier Ivan Petersson's gates are yet again locked. - DBF

June 2nd; Skinnkompaniets (leather and fur) sale was a bit slow so we
thought we would help out. With the assistance of a hammer we smashed
a window and threw in red paint to increase the discount from 40% off
to 100%. Of course we smashed the other window of the shop as well. -
DBF"

"FREE SEAN KIRTLEY"(UK)

received anonymously:

'Free Sean Kirtley' was painted in 6 foot high letters off a bridge in Yorkshire.

This action was done to highlight the injustice in the UK 'justice' system and the imprisonment of peaceful campaigners.

ALF"
