HOLIDAY PACKAGES SENT TO NAUGHTY VIVISECTORS (USA)

anonymous communique:

"To celebrate the holidays, we sent a special package to the home of Johns Hopkins University non-human primate vivisector Elise Weerts at 616 S. Ann ST in Baltimore. Weerts addicts primates to GHB and other drugs of abuse in her sadistic and fraudulent research. Sadistic because she watches the animals suffer in complete agony and is committed to inflicting more pain and misery to make a name for herself; and for her paycheck. Fradulent because nothing can be learned of human addiction from creating addiction in non-human primates or other animals; who do not engage in addictive behavior in their natural environments.

We also sent one of our special letter-bombs to the home of JHU primate vivisector Steven Hsiao. This could arrive either at his office on campus or at his home located at 2415 Ken Oak Rd in Baltimore. Hsiao's brain-mapping experiments on non-human primates are pure torture for these innocent beings.

Johns Hopkins University was chosen because they imprison dozens of non-human primates and torture them to death year after year. In addition, they are one of the top violators of the Animal Welfare Act. Peaceful protest and attempts at mediation have failed.

These two vivisectors were chosen at random. All responsible for the torture and oppression of innocent beings will soon receive the same treatment.

Every action has an impact. Every life saved is a victory.

For an end to systematic violence and oppression. For total animal liberation,
ANIMAL LIBERATION BRIGADE"

13 RABBITS LIBERATED (Netherlands)

anonymous communique reported on Animal Rights Media:  http://www.animalrights.nl

"During the night of first and second Christmas the Animal Liberation Front liberated 13 white rabbits in the south of The Netherlands. They were flemish giant rabbits.

When we got into this rabbit barn we were shocked, not by the large amount of rabbits who were present, but that the group of adult rabbits from which we rescued 2 a week earlier, were all gone, and might have been killed; we were afraid of this and it has become true.

We from the Animal Liberation Front have chosen to not cause any damage or leave a note, so we could come back later to liberate all the rabbits who are awaiting their death.

The Animal Liberation Front doesn't know if the rabbits are for consumption, or if they got killed for their fur. It doesn't make any difference to us, we want all animals to be free, and we will come back until the last cage is empty!
Let this be clear, who or what will try to stop us, we're fighting with our hearts for the animals!"

POULTRY SHOP CLOSES AFTER ATTACKS (Mexico)

received anonymously (translation):

"During the early morning hours of December 26, the F.L.A. of Mexico decided to visit an exploitive poultry shop that earlier this year had been attacked on several occasions. Before the sabotage we had learned that this store had closed, first because of the debts that they had accumulated in renting the business and the economic crisis and secondly because of the attacks.

We are not economists, but it is clear that small speciesist businesses like this one can easily be closed, in part by the economic crisis currently rocking the wealthy, and also by attacking strongly where they least expect it.

When we arrived at the target, the building was empty and now they surely won't be selling the corpses of tortured animals again, so we decided to break their windows with hammers and to paint messages such as 'Animal Liberation!' expressing our triumph through active and consistent economic sabotage.

Let your imagination free, take to the streets and hit the exploiters where it hurts them the most!

FLA- México"

HLS SUPPLIER'S VAN GLUED (UK)

received anonymously:

"As 500 animals die every day inside HLS, top logistics supplier Fedex continue to profit from the suffering of animals. This is why in the early hours of the morning the A.L.F. super glued one of their vans in the South West of England.

A fighting embrace to the British SHAC 7: Gregg Avery, Natasha Avery, Dan Amos, Heather Nicholson, Gerrah Selby, Gavin Medd-Hall and Dan Wadham. We will continue to directly attack the institutions that imprisoned you!

Our sabotage is infinite ... for the destruction of speciesism!
Solidarity in the form of rage and action!

Animal Liberation Front"

BRICK SHATTERS BUTCHERS WINDOW (UK)

anonymous report:

"Xmas present for Butchers:

To celebrate the festive season a brick was delivered to a Somerset butchers. With bad aim the missile missed the letterbox instead shattering the shop window. This isn’t the first time serial killers have come under attack in the area and it sure won’t be the last.

TURTLE FREED FROM CAPTIVITY (Mexico)

reported anonymously (translation):

"December 24:

While the majority of Mexican families were preparing Christmas food and were putting on their expensive costumes purchased only to be used on this brief day and were preparing to receive their families and treat them hypocritically, we the Frente de Liberación Animal – Comando Verde Negro found ourselves on the shores of an enormous lake with a turtle ready to regain her freedom and her wild instincts, denied for many years by anthropocentric speciesism.
This turtle was found in captivity living day after day imprisoned, inert with no companions, until we rescued her from the pathetic and monotonous life that she had been living.

When we saw the large lake, the turtle began kicking her legs as if she remembered life before her capture; we left her on the shore and she quickly, happily submerged herself in the water.
Truly this is what animal liberation is, the always unforgettable rescue and release.
After a period of time underwater admiring the birds that were flying in the blue sky and the rays of the sun, the turtle came out of the water, she saw us for the last time and submerged herself again, to begin a life free and without the domination of her body, her food, and more.

Ready yourself to liberate animals and you will do it!
For total liberation!

FLA- CVN (México)"

RETURN VISIT TO FUR STORE (Spain)

from Klinamen.org:

"Last month brought another visit to the fur shop Susanne. Their locks were made unusable and the word 'murderers' as well as the initials FLA were painted on their metal shutters and on a stone wall that divides the store. The graffiti on the stone wall was expensive to remove; on the shutters the paint remains today.

An envelope was left with a note to the owners in which it was made clear that this attack as well as all past attacks were due to their relationship with the fur business and animal exploitation. They were also warned that if they do not stop this activity other properties such as their car would be attacked. The note included the car registration to make it clear that we know very well where to hit on future occasions.

A few weekends before, a branch of Barclays Bank had been stoned with construction rubble for its ties with HLS."

TWO TRUCKS AT SLAUGHTERHOUSE SET AFIRE (Mexico)

received anonymously (translation):

"Monday December 22, 2008
Thinking of Ronnie Lee . . .
Fire has returned to illuminate the gray night on the outskirts of the large city, our eyes shining against its reflection. Two fires took the monotony out of the empty and sad streets.
While the chicken murderers were resting after the slaughter, our shadows, reflected by the liberators' abolitionist fire, became visible; two trucks belonging to one of the many slaughterhouses in the City of Nezahualcóyotl, to the east of the city, were set afire.
In one gasoline appeared rose-colored inside the cabin and on the seats and the steering wheel, because we had the good fortune of a window being down, in the other truck liters of gasoline mixed with oil was poured on its tires, and in the transporting box (made of wood), immediately after that it was set on fire using a pair of flares that were thrown at the interior and exterior of the vehicles.
Within minutes our shadows and smiles of happiness were lost in the darkness.
The sabotages continue, we will not stop, each time it is becoming more intense, strong and direct.
Our passion will always be our weapon.
Wait no more, you only need conviction and gasoline for action.
FRENTE DE LIBERACION ANIMAL…MEXICO."

PAINT SPILLED ON TELMEX PHONE BOOTHS (Mexico)

anonymous report:

"Sabotage of Telmex in Mexico City (D.F.) December 20, 2008
5 phones of the disgusting Telmex company have been decorated and exposed. This time we spilled red paint on the booths and left the phones unusable.
For animal liberation.
F.L.A. Mexico."
