THREE GOATS RESCUED FROM AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL (USA)

anonymous communique:

"In the early hours of Saturday, Feb. 9th 2008, three young goats were liberated by the ALF from the Carpinteria High School FFA in California. After cutting through one lock and one fence, we took them from their small pens with concrete floors and carried them to freedom. They were taken to a place where they will be able to live their lives free from cages and fences, able to enjoy sunshine and grass as opposed to steel bars and concrete floors. As we brought them to their new home, they immediately stopped crying, began eating the grass around them, and enjoyed their surroundings. They listened to us and licked our faces as we soothed them before leaving the three of them on their own. They will no longer be victims to animal exploitation or slaughter for human greed.
The FFA is an organization that teaches kids from a young age how to carry on the fucked up tradition of anthropocentrism, where they are taught how to raise animals for exploitation, abuse, and eventually murder. FFA is known for keeping animals in small, dirty, unkempt, confined places where they lack nurturing and stimulating interaction with other animals. As long as the FFA continues to raise animals for the meat, dairy, or egg industries, the ALF will continue to take actions against these practices.

20,000 PHEASANTS FREED (Italy)

"February 8 - Minerbio (Bologna)
Local newspapers report that about 20.000 pheasants have been freed from a farm breeding them to rebuild hunting populations. The activists cut 5 out
of the 20 sheds imprisoning the animals and signed the action with
spraypainted slogans like 'free the animals' or '1945-2008- the holocauts
is not finished yet'.
The owner of the farm says he is importing the animals from eastern
european countries and he never had any problems or threats in 30 years of
activity. Damages are estimated at 10.000 euros."

SIX RABBITS FREED IN RETURN VISIT TO FARM (Italy)

anonymous report:

"February 3, 2008:
Galeotta farm, Nuova Uguzzolo (PR)

Tonight we inspected the farm to take stock of the situation 6 months after a previous liberation**. Among the many pheasants we noticed 6 rabbits in a cage. The desire to free them was too much and although it was not part of the plan we opened the cages and returned them to nature."
