POULTRY COMPANY WALLS AND TRUCKS SPLATTERED WITH PAINT (Mexico)

anonymous communique (translation):

"Mexico’s largest bird-killer received a visit from the Animal Liberation Front on the night of October 8th. Bachoco is its name; this life-destroying company not only takes advantage of enormous animal exploitation to make large amounts of money, but also of the exploitation and extreme contamination of the earth. In different Mexican states like Guanajuato and Michoacan, the remains of birds and toxic liquids are thrown into the river where hundreds of human and nonhuman animals have been affected with various diseases, and hundreds of hectares of fertile land have been contaminated.
Protests from environmentalists and legal demands have been raised against Bachoco for a long time now, but as everyone knows the government with its rules of peace and control allows and legitimizes these repulsive atrocities against the earth and the animals; as radical activists we can not allow this.
That's why the white walls and the Bachoco logos were splattered with black paint, as well as one of their trailers; 3 other trucks reeking of pain and suffering received various slogans and threats.
The ALF will not wait for Bachoco to acknowledge their crimes; we will sabotage these bastards.
* We appreciate the support through actions and communications of our brothers and sisters in the United States; their words are a boost for us; we continue with the struggle, for sabotage and animal liberation.
ALF México"

KITTEN RESCUED FROM DISGUSTING PET SHOP (UK)

anonymous report:

"On wednesday 8th october memebers of the animal liberation front visited a pet shop to inspect the conditions of the animals held captive inside. The conditions were so disgusting that we felt the need to act straight away so we liberated a tiny ginger kitten. The owners were so away with the fairies that we just opened the cage and took the kitten and walked straight out of the front door. This kitten will now live out its life in a natural and clean enviroment and to the rest of the innocent beings don't worry we wont forget you and we will be seeing you very soon.

SHOTGUN SHELLS SLIPPED INTO TAILPIPES OF UCLA VANS (USA)

received anonymously:

"UCLA shame on you.
With primates being the closest genetic relative that human beings have, that is they share over 90% of our genetic makeup, it is very reasonable to assume that in addition to DNA and similar molecules they also share our sensitivities to fear, boredom, lonelieness, and above all, pain. As scientist you all know this. It's the main reason that you chose to test on them right?
UCLA, regents, deans, and vivisectors, your choice to continuously destroy the precious lives of these beautiful beings is why we won't leave you be.

As today began (oct 6 2008) we caught up with a couple of your currently popular vanpools. In two different locales, using small wooden rods we slipped unfired shotgun shells into the mufflers by way of the tailpipes of two of your vans. We also phoned into your media relations desk to let them know about it.
On a long enough drive or a hot enough day the mufflers will be blown off.

Leave the primates out of your inept and outdated science and we will leave you out of our quest for justice."

10 PET SHOPS GLUED SHUT (Mexico)

received anonymously:

"With a lot of glue and a desire to fuck with exploiters, the ALF went out again into the streets to demonstrate that the sabotage will continue, without end.

This time 10 pet shops were sealed, recalling one of the first direct actions of the ALF in this same month but last year.

The number of actions are increasing and we will not stop.

SIX CHICKENS FREED, EGGS TRASHED (UK)

received anonymously:

"On the afternoon of 4th october,
6 chickens were liberated from a Egg Farm in Yorkshire, UK. The conditions inside the barn
were extremely disgusting we wish we could have been able to take more,
only time did not allow this, when we entered the Barn stacks of eggs
were smashed and toppled over. then we entered the chicken's section of the barn
it was so dusty we could hardly see, alot of chickens were in bad condition
with feathers pecked out and cuts all over their the backs and floor was covered in faeces.
It was quite easy to find this Barn as it's stench could be smelt from across the road.

CARS PAINT-STRIPPED AT HOME OF VIVISECTOR (USA)

anonymous report:

"Thought we'd shout out a big screw you to bill 2296 so we paint stripped three cars in the driveway of UCLA vivisector Baldwin Way at 901 Princeton Street in Santa Monica.

A kid in our dorm knows all about you fucker, injecting meth into vervet monkeys. Our spontaneity prevented us from obtaining the neccessary implements to blow up your car, but we figured that your roommates Sammuel and Randi deserved some retribution for living with a sadistic fuck that gets off on tormenting monkeys. We suggest you hold your breath the next time you start your car.

Keep up the revolution, friends in Mexico, Berkeley, Santa Cruz and around the world.

---students and workers for the liberation of UCLA primates"

SHOOT SABOTAGED (UK)

received anonymously:

"The ALF went up on Burley Moor near Ilkley and trashed rows of grouse butts, rendering them unusable and glued up the locks on a hut belonging to the shoot.

This moor was chosen because it is owned by Edward Bromet and the Bingley Moor Partnership who want to begin shooting on Ilkley moor again. For every penny you plan to make from this blood soaked contract we will double it in damages.

Stop the shooting now
Animal Liberation Front"

REGION'S LAST FUR FARM REMAINS CLOSED (Sweden)

anonymous press release:

"FUR BAN IN DALARNA - DBF WINS OVER MINK FARM IN HEMMINGSBO

On september 26th an inspection was carried out on Erik Wahlins mink farm in Falun. It was almost one year ago* that Djurens Befrielsefront (Swedish ALF) claimed a fur ban in that area after releasing 800 minks from the farm. The activists promised that the ban would be upheld by themselves after the faith in the politicians has been lost after they ignore the animal welfare law. Now DBF's own inspectors can say that the ban in upheld and that Dalarna is fur-free!
After three liberations of mink and an attempted arson attack on the farm all that is left on the farm is 2 empty sheds on what used to be Dalarnas last fur farm.
The law must be followed so the question is - which region is next to get a fur ban from the protectors of animals?

- DBF"

BIRDS RESCUED FROM SLAUGHTERHOUSE (UK)

anonymous communique:

"The ALF walked straight in to the Yorkshire Poultry Products slaughterhouse in bradford and liberated five birds in a crate.

We are watching YPP and their rock bottom finances and we are determined to close you down. When you were taken to the shabby courts because of the cruelty you carry out your director asked not to be fined because it would finish the company off - now you've got the ALF to do that for you!

ALF"

ACTIONS CONTINUE DESPITE "RESEARCHER PROTECTION ACT" (USA)

anonymous communique:

"This is a delayed report. We were inspired by the recent passage of the 2296 bill and the raid of an anarchist infoshop in Oakland. As the vivisectors revel in their false safety, know this. This law changes NOTHING. We are still here and we intend to act.

We would like to take credit for three actions. We threw stones through windows at Ralph Freeman's Vine Street home, breaking two.

Frederic Theunissen's car was scratched up with a hammer. This same hammer was used to smash a large window on his home in the middle of the night.

Ralph Freeman has killed cats and kittens in his laboratory at UC Berkeley with no benefit for humans for over twenty years. Frederic Theunissen is responsible for the torture of birds in his laboratory. These animals are denied movement and cut open for his insane, unscientific studies.

All the vivisectors and anyone assisting in this sadism at UC Berkeley (researchers, post-docs) shall consider themselves an appropriate target. And remember, cameras and motion lights have done nothing for Theunissen and Freeman. Get out of the death trade for good.

For our sisters and brothers fighting in Mexico.

Justice's hammer falls again and again until it ends when the price is a helpless animals life,

-----Feminists for Animal Liberation"

SIGNS FOR GAME FAIR RIPPED DOWN (UK)
